Ted's Story
Life
Lived in Redford for 22 years then bought a new house in 97 up in Waterford. After 32 years at Western Electric, Michigan Bell, and AT&T. From installing telephone equiptment in a central office, business phones, satellite communications, to fiber optic cable in the ocean going all over the world. I was forced to retire as a manager in 2003. Then I got bored of sitting home after 2 years. So I drove a school bus for Waterford school system and retired iin July 2014.

Detroit Grand Prix, Tiger games, Piston games, Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, Detroit Art Museum, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Toledo to watch the Mudd Hens, Auto & Hot Rod shows at Cobo Hall, Marine City, Saginaw, Flint, Frankenmuth for their chicken lunch, all the sporting events at all th...Expand for more
e high schools. It was all free and got paid for it. From the day I got my lic. I drove 5 days a week. Some days you could drive over 100 miles and not leave Waterford. It was a great 9 years with the summers and Christmas off. They would ask me every year if I wanted a regular route day after day with the same kids. Sorry that's not for me. As they would say the needs of the service. I was there every morning at 6am in case someone called in sick, a bus broke down, or got into an accident and I would take a spare bus and get the kids to school. I did high school, middle school, elementary, and even special needs, did it all. It's not the job I miss so much, it's the good people I worked with as a team, the aids on some of the buses, the teachers, the coaches, and good students is what I miss.
