I have to give my admiration to Oregon grandfather Doug Hayes who has gone beyond the call of duty to be a wonderful person to his 10 grandchildren by buying one of those old school buses that are retired by the bus company.
Doug purchased a school bus that is named the "Grandfather Express" to take five of his grandchildren who attend a small Catholic school named Paideia Classical Christian school in Gladstone Oregon.
Normally the parents of Doug's grandchildren take their children to school by using the own autos since the distance from the school from home is about three miles away.
Doug is doing something to enjoy being with his grandchildren by taking to school on his own school bus that he purchased as a Christmas gift.
The reason that there is no bus service from the home of Doug's grandchildren to the school is that the school is too small for them to have regular school bus service to that Catholic school.
This Christmas season has seen a lot of good deeds done by regular people as well as celebrities this year.

That's a wonderful gift. I am sure that is good for his grandchildren as well as him. He gets time to spend with his grandchildren while driving them to school

When I retire from the government service in 2016, I bought a Mitsubishi L300 van for my family to serve them in going to Church every Sunday.

I know if I were on his grandchildren, I would be thrilled to get a ride on a bus to school myself.

I like the idea of Doug buying a former bus so he can take his grandchildren to school when school resumes early next year.
