This was the early 70’s. All bus drivers in North Carolina were HS students, making a big $2 an hour back then. I had been driving for about a year at that point, and among other things, I learned that busses don’t stop well in snow — even with chains on. And you were responsible for putting your chains on. Unlike many schools today, classes were not called at the first flake - you just had to man up and do it.
Good times, good times. I even put a radio in mine for in-flight entertainment.
Thanks for your service. I couldn’t do it.
