My bus passion goes far beyond preservation. For me, it’s a commitment and responsibility coming from my heart. It all started when I was a little tot when my Aunt Elmira took me to Macy’s Herald Square in New York City. There were all these school buses with cat eyes moving and forth at the top in the middle. As a tot, it doesn’t take much for anything catching one’s attention. At that very moment, I picked up the school bus unknowingly to my Aunt. As my Aunt was preparing to leave Macy’s, she noticed that I had one of the school buses in my hand, and she told me a stern voice to put the bus back. Of course her plan didn’t work. My Aunt tried to take the school bus from my hand, but couldn’t as I held onto that school bus for dear life with a determined grip with a bus vision. To say the least, my Aunt was forced to buy that school bus, and my ambition for buses simply took off after that. But there’s a connection, Macy’s opened the door to my bus passion, but also presently became my employer, which I have been working for 36 Years in New York City Corporate.
But where did my bus passion follow? It was Greyhound Bus Lines with the stretched hound that captured my attention. You see, I am fond of animals, so it was that love and Greyhound combined together that lead me wanting to know more about buses. Remember I said responsibility that became the initiative in me. For that reason and purpose, I joined as a member of the Museum of Bus Transportation, and the rest is bus history continuous.
