Long Island Lives: for the love of driving

please click on photo to see Big G up close


my dad, likes to drive, a lot. so when he grew tired of his towing business he took a job as a school bus driver. 18 years later at the young age of 76 and much to the surprise of everyone, today will be his last day - he is officially retiring. when he gave the big news to his elementary school passengers, one of them said, " oh really, when are you coming back?"
I have a feeling he will be sorely missed.

when asked how he will fill his new found freedom, my dad said he plans on volunteering his driving skills to seniors in his local church transporting them to and from doctor appointments.
