I have been doing videos on growing up Cook Family Singers. Click here for the bus video. Here is a picture of the bus.
Yes, it’s an old picture, and not a full-sized picture either. And what about that white car? Mine? You bet it was. I bought it under duress but that’s a story for another day.
Here is another picture of The Bus.
Now you’re getting the picture, right? Let me just say that I noticed there wasn’t any writing on the side. That must have come later. I’m sure The Cook Family Singers was on the side of the bus?
Here is the van I mentioned, you know, the one I had to take my driver’s test in, uh, three times! And what I had to drive if I wanted to cruise around town. That was before the old lady white car I drove.
The little guy is the brother “I raised”. 🙂 My other two brothers and my cousin. My older brother in the plaid pants was truly styling there…no, really.
And there you have a couple of visuals of what I was talking about.
Again I ask, would you want to be me?
I have a vague memory of seeing either the bus or the van once (I can’t remember which) as a kid, but for the life of me I never knew if the memory was real. It was in front of Jim and Katie’s house on Crews drive… I feel like the bus stopped to drop someone off or pick someone up. Vague vague memory, but I was always impressed that your family did that, (even if I’m remembering it poorly). I have no idea how old I would have been. 🙂 Great pics!
That’s funny that you remember the bus however vague. I think there is a good possibly Stevie was let out in front of the house on Crews. He would go with my brother sometimes. Twas a long time ago.
What an interesting story! Oh that bus and oh those pants!! #Sitsblogging
I know, right? LOL
I would want to be in that bus, yes! And drive that van, yes!
I’d certainly skip wearing the pants your brother is wearing!
LOL, not a fan of the bus or the van, but the pants…kidding. 🙂
I just wanted to say that I love vintage photos! That bus is classic. #SITSBlogging
Thanks! The bus has been gone for many years…
Those vintage photos look so cool! Absolutely love them!
Vintage photos, LOL, that’s my childhood. I’m…vintage. 🙂
