It's been great for the kids' self-esteem. Bus drivers told us none of the kids could believe it when they turned the corner to the school on the first day.

One of the drivers told me about his situation. He stopped the bus with some difficulty and then it slid sideways, kitty-corner across the intersection, and had to be towed away from the curb.

You're out again? You're supposed to be our bus driver and now both of our bus drivers (Yao and Tracy McGrady ) are underneath where you keep the luggage. Giving us no help. Look at this, there's sweat on me and there's none on you. You're lying in the bed, taking it easy for six months. I had a cracked rib, and I was back in three weeks.

I fully expected when I told her the process, she would say, 'Heck no' and run the other direction.

After last year I told Bus I'm going to get him back to Detroit.

We said, "Because if you don't give us two drivers by Monday morning, we're going to shut your bus company down." Oh, he was a boastful kind. He said, "No Negroes want to stop riding my bus."
