Chapter 3
After my stay on Mt. Hood for the summer of '74, I ended up in Bend. where my Dad had moved after being separated from his wife. The living conditions were not ideal, but I was able to start high school again.
I was hired at Pacific Trailways as a baggage boy by Station Manager Frank Aden. Trailways became my home away from home when I wasn't at school. During the day ticket clerks worked the buses, in the evening they were loaded by myself and other baggage boys. Whenever a bus came in, the shop personnel would clean and service it. The buses pulled through from the back alley and parked in a bay next to the waiting room.
