Betty's Story
Life
My life was pretty normal until 1995 when Meredith found out he had leukemia and then passed away on 4July1996. I had recently quit working for Bank of America after 18 years and got a school bus license and was going to sub for Chowchilla High. I have been a full time driver for CUHS since Spring of 1997 and you know, I really love what I do. I have an average route of 58 miles each morning and the students keep me young! I normally only work about 5 hours a day.

I extend a fond "Hello" to anyone who might read this. Betty Sutton Askew
I did retire from driving school bus for CUHS at the end of 2007. I have four handsome and beautiful grandchildren and one great granddaughter. I am busier than ever seems like and trying to get adjusted to this "Rusty" style of life that everyone said was the Golden Years. Betty
