My children

Several weeks ago I had a little girl ask me if I had any brothers and sisters. I am sure she meant children but, yes I do have a sister who lives in Mesa, Arizona and the picture to the left is our 8 children--5 girls and 3 boys. All are married except the last 2 boys and Tony (second from right) is getting married on May 30. Five of the kids live here in Georgia (Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee and Atlanta. There are 15 years difference between the oldest and the youngest. All together we have 23 grand children. Their mother (Nancy) and I have been married for 43 years.

Jim's School Bus


Mister Jim and his bus #8964. It is an International drive train with a Carpenter Passenger School Bus configuration built in 1989. It has 266k miles on it and runs like a top! There is NO A/C except for windows and the heater works a little on cold days. The stairs are very tall and a little hard to climb up in...especially with my bad hips.

My dog Baxter


Some of you wanted to know if I have a dog...this is Baxter. He is a French Bull Dog and is very friendly. He is 4 years old and weighs about 25 pounds and has a strong pedigree of show dogs.
While I am gone driving my school bus he sleeps in my chair and awaits my return.

Baxter in my bus...


This stuffed dog was given to me from Anna on her first day of school. Anna is from China.
