So just what are these wooden moving scales
Will tell in a moment without fail
It was a man by the name of Kenn Stoliker
He was involved as a Trailways Motor Coach Driver
It involves the highway and a bus
But there is an added plus
His daily journeys were within Pennsylvania and New York City
It was Mr. Stoliker’s dedication always focused precisely on the steering wheel, and safety for all the passengers on his bus
But here is the added plus
When Mr. Stoliker retired, he was still active in the bus community
He created toy wooden scale buses being his unity
Yet, it was a long lasting hobby becoming a craft
Mr. Stoliker would use tracing paper and cardboard to organize how the bus will look in wood
He would study actual bus drawings to make sure that the toy scale wooden bus will come out like the real original
Design and scratch would be the appropriate terms
The bus industry was still in Mr. Stoliker’s heart because it was a commitment
Picture a man driving a bus as a career then retire and still work with buses
Any bus that people missed the ride, it could be a bus that only Mr. Stoliker’s scale in design could provide
But these would be toy scale wooden models that no one could ride
I have some of Mr. Stoliker’s toy wooden buses craftsmanship in my collection
For me, it is my own preservation
So it was a man with pure dedication
Mr. Stoliker was my presentation
He died a couple of months ago
He is now in everlasting peace
A place of solitude and reward
An honor in praise
A journey well done
In my heart always among
But his last words would probably be, “Welcome aboard and watch your step”
Wooden bus affair
Craftsmanship in Mr. Kenn Stoliker’s designing care
His hobby I wanted to share
