More memories, Ken! 

 I used to ride one of the old GMs to grade school(Julia Ward Howe).
The PAT bus would pick us up right up the street and would make a few
stops on the way to St. Winifred and Howe schools. I don't recall
paying a fare so maybe the parents got together to charter bus service
for their children. Probably 20 kids rode the buses to and from 
school. I loved the old GM buses but remember riding the fishbowls
also. Once in a blue moon we would get one of my favorites, a GM
shortie bus with AC unit(the 1800 series numbers I believe). We had
great times riding the PAT buses to school in the mornings and afternoons. Thanks again for the memories, Ken. Even though I was
more of a trolley fan in my youth.
