found the same thing to be true. Then I enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force to become an Eagle Pilot but was
stopped at the US border with the threat of going to jail if I crossed. At the time it looked like my dream of becoming a
fighter ace was being shot down.
My book then takes me to Hawaii where I spent the war years in the U.S.Naval Reserve. I was working for the Navy
when I got drafted so I went out to Schofield Barracks to be inducted into the Army, but the Navy intervened and put
me in the US Navy Reserve, saying they could not afford to loose me. I was an aircraft carburetor specialist and there
were no replacements there to take my place.
Since I was in contact with planes, my desire for flying was subdued. I spent the war years (WWII) at Kaneohe Naval
Air Station on the windward side of Oahu, Hawaii.
During the war I had come home on emergency leave to see my Mother through an operation and while I was home I
met a cute little redhead that excited me, so when I left Hawaii I visited my mom in Yuba City, California, and then I
followed my little redhead to San Antonio and got married shortly after.
After getting married in San Antonio we moved back to California. I held several sales jobs during the next few years
but was not happy with any of them. I had wanted to become a California Highway Patrolman but the waiting list was
too long and Greyhound was hiring at the time and the buses fascinated me so I went into San Francisco and applied
for a job. After 28 years I knew the decision to become a Greyhound driver was the best I ever made.
I took pride in my driving and operated my bus the way I would like it to be driven if I were a passenger. I want to thank
God, again, for His assistance in helping me keep those people safe while on my bus. There were times when I should
not have been driving as I didn't have the proper rest that I should have had, but I knew God was with me every
minute. His awesome power has helped me overcome obstacles all through my life and He will do the same for you if
only you accept Him as your Saviour and ask for His help.
I would never have dreamed of having a job where I went to work with a smile on my face and returned home with that
same smile, but it did happen. I truly loved doing the job that was designed just for me.
I take you along with me on the many chartered trips I took to see all the National Parks in the Western States. God
has given us so much beauty in our Nation to be enjoyed and we should all strive to enjoy it. We will also drive the
Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek to Fairbanks covering fifteen hundred miles of gravel road. After touring Alaska I
put my bus on a ship in Haines, Alaska to return home by the Inland Passage.. There are lots of pictures in my book to
enjoy.

The Purpose of this Site is to Introduce my Book
"MEMOIRS OF A GREYHOUND BUS DRIVER"
My story begins with my early childhood of being brought up on a farm
down in the middle of Texas. I was at a very early age when I learned
the only way to enjoy a cotton field, was, from a great distance. I made
up my mind then and there, I was not going to be a farm boy any
longer than necessary.
I was probably at the age of six or seven when I found myself
becoming very fascinated by airplanes flying over our house. At the
time, commercial aviation was just getting started, so there wasn't too
many planes flying. I was so intrigued by the planes that I knew some
day I was going to own and fly my own plane.
After graduating from High school I tried enlisting in the Army Air Corp
but at the time two years of college was required. I tried the Navy and
