At some point in time “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”, we also buy an old, retired School Bus that would either be a Transit style like the one that’s the subject or an older gasoline-powered Conventional style School Bus on a Ford B-Series chassis & cowl or an International S-Series chassis & cowl. We would use the bus occasionally to transport ourselves, my paternal grandmother, Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann & her children, Joe, Martha, Margaret, Ralph, Ann, Paul; and their 2 daughters all simultaneously whenever we go somewhere as a large family group (e.g. a restaurant) and we can all be transported in a single vehicle. Besides, it further fuels our frenzy for Class 6-8 vehicles, the air brakes, and the fundamentals of driving and operating them just like how the older Class 6 Box Truck already does; and it allows my mother to further hone her School Bus driving skills during her off-time.

We’d pick up a bus with a floorplan similar to the one in this Blog post with a multitude of wheelchair stations to accommodate the elderly and physically-challenged relatives that would have to be transported in wheelchairs while riding this bus-being my paternal Grandmother, Marie “Mimi”, Mary Ann, Joe; and Martha.
