Among the history captured by Bernie’s lens was his collection of hand painted buses, from the early 1990’s. I think I probably rode on all of them at one time or another during my High School days.
Big thanks again today to John for scanning those slides and to Bernie for pulling them out.

Photo taken September, 1991. The creepy mechanical armed KFC bus… When I think of fried Chicken, I don’t think of robot arms.

I guess that only works if people were on the bus :)
The KFC bus made think of the tv show Robot Chicken for some strange reason. Seeing the Big V bus made me remember of the Big V Crusader mascot on flyers.
Very nostalgic. Kudos to Bernie and John.
