Tower bus
Tower bus was a miracle for me that went from 1979 till 1995 I drove somewhere around 2
million miles all over North America.
I took tourists to many places around North America , learning about the history of the U.S. and
Canada. the knowledge of geology came after I noticed that the rocks were different from one
area to another.
I have learned much about people having taken every cultural , ethnic , spiritual group
combined with having taken a year of psychiatric nursing , I can say that most people are the
same and the differences are minor untill there are people who are “ RIGHT” and will not allow
any other possibilities other than what they consider to be what is reality weather or not it is in
reality , that is called mental illness.
In driving a bus I had to be strong because the hours were horrendous , the longest day was
36 hours and the longest week was 144 hours while driving two buses down the east coast with
a friend , one night we ran into an ice storm while driving through Vermont mountains , the state
police pulled us ,2 buses, over and told us that the road was closed , I said that we needed a
place to put 90 + people with food, he said well we will keep track of you , so at 5 miles an hour
we proceeded through Vermont at the Canadian border we were waved through and when we
hit the 401 we went to the first rest area, a man walked out of the bus and almost fell and told
me that he was glad that the roads were better, I looked at him and said the road is 50 feet away
, what makes you think it is any different. the workers there were stranded because of the ice, A
salt truck showed up and told me that they have been waiting for us , he put salt down and told
us to wait ½ hour before driving on . There have been so many great groups that this was such
a great position to be in , after Marianne and I became partners we took as many 2 bus
movements that we could ,
I had prayed for church groups and that prayer was answered in abundance . I had driven for
most sports groups like all of the nba, nfl , part of the nhl , then most world class orchestra’s ,
many bands which included the rat pack Genisis. Kiss, Mitch Miller Band , funny Girl , the chorus
line and many more
Marianne and I had a great life until she was killed by a drunk driver new years eve 1992 on her
way home at 7:30 pm
After Marianne’s death I found it hard to drive and did not drive much after that
