More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims．“Theschool bus is a mirror of the community．”They further add that，unfortunately,what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosencommunity．They are right-----sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson．Ridingthe school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl．

Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for AlthouseBus Company has been Liesl'S bus driver since kindergarten．Last year whenLiesl'S family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her new residence，sherequested to ride the same bus．

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoyher last year riding the bus．She says，“It's been a great ride SO fa—My busdriver is SO cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener．Sometimeswhen you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr．Hardyalways listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．”Herfriends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree．

Bruce Hardy has been making Doctorialstudents feel special since l 975．This year he will celebrate 3o years workingfor Althouse Bus Company．Larry Althouse，president of the company，acknowledgesBruce Hardy'S outstanding record：“You do not come by employees like Bruce thesedays．He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record．He wasrecognized in 2ooo by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for drivin9 35o，oooaccident free miles．Hardy'S reputation is made further evident through therelationships he has made with the students that ride his bus．”

Althouse further adds，“Althouse BusCompany was established 7o years ago and has been providing qualitytransportation ever since．My grandfather started the business with one bus．AlthouseBus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safeservice to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to providequality service for many more years to come．”

Three generations of business is not allthe company has enjoyed．Thanks to drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have beenbuilding relationships through generations．Liesl'S mother Carol also enjoysfond memories of riding Bruce Hardy'S bus to the Octorara School District．
