with them -- like i say, stayed with them in washington, dc, three or four days at a time.

"i bought this school bus in salem, virginia. it was on eighth street, underneath a canopy. and it had been kind of beat up and banged up a little bit, but we got it fixed and we got it running. the most important thing about this bus is the seats inside of it." (nat: snap as chain cut away - "ah, yes.") messimer: "it's a 1934 dodge brothers

have never seen one with seats like the inside of this bus. and i'm real proud of it now, because a lot of people love it, we get a lot of compliments on it.
