    3. I have just finished reading an article in the little magazine "American Profile" that they put in with the newspapers - did you in Dora know you had a "VIP", actually 2, a woman school bus driver by the name of Sarah GRIGSBY of Fultondale and the author of the article, Judy Woodward BATES. It is very good, this little magazine has some of the most interesting and informational articles for something small that I have ever read, I collect them and keep them in a notebook. So now why have you not told me about this? My mother was a school bus driver in Auburn, that was the only way we got to ride the bus because if you lived in the city limits, you could not ride the school bus, you had to walk or get a ride. So be on the look-out for bus #05-89 and take care of her, she has to be a great person, even when mother drove a bus, the children were at times unruly, but nothing like today - I remember being able to open the door for pick ups (what a great and important job), also when the bus would stop at railroad crossings (and I mean STOP), I got to run across the tracks to look for a train and motion the bus across the tracks, that was a highlite of my school days, it was a VERY important job. delilah evans
