Former driver wants to keep Glacier's big red buses

Editor:

Please help save Glacier's historic red buses that have served visitors since 1936. Ford contributed $6.5 million to completely refurbish the buses from 1999 to 2002. The buses have new chassis, transmissions and power trains, and they are now ultra-low emission vehicles. I drove a red bus in 1967, and I know how popular they have been with park visitors.

The park service wants to retire the buses without consulting the public. Help Montana preserve this unique part of its cultural history. With complete public involvement, I am confident that we all can continue to enjoy the Glacier's red buses.
