Thanks to everyone.

Which of the old school buses are you referring to as "That bus"? The grill usually tells the year.

I started school in 1951. The bus that passed our family farm was a 12 passenger Ford. Five buses served the school. The driver was A.P. Jensen. He was a wild driver. 15 years later and in another area, he ran a stop sign and hit my car head on.
