Wow, I really had a professional job now, driving buses from state to state. I made trips to Florida and California. I was 24 years old and had the responsibility to keep one group happy for several weeks plus maintain a new Eagle Bus, contact hotels and keep an expense account. I made lots of friends driving buses, met celebrities, and drove professional football and baseball teams. I went to Disney world 20 times in one summer. I loved my job and had a great time traveling around the country.

After 5 years with Trailways, the drivers went on strike and after the strike I was laid off. Greyhound purchased most Trailways Divisions and the company that I loved no longer existed.

 Meanwhile, Atlanta Transit had changed to MARTA and I applied and was accepted back. After a couple more years at MARTA, I got the urge to travel again and joined Arnel Tours.
