INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS Bus Driver Makes It
Into the Record Books Missouri school bus driver Carl Fisher
had something to celebrate even before the July 4th holiday weekend came around: admission into the Guinness Book of World’s Records. Fisher has spent the last 64 years and 5 months behind the wheel of a school bus, longer than any other driver before him. Since 1946, when he first turned 16, he has been driving school buses for Pleas- ant Hope Schools, located about 20 miles north of Springfield. Even cancer couldn’t stop Fisher from reaching his record. Af- ter recently receiving 43 chemotherapy treatments, he was still driving strong. Te process to get him into the record books started when son J.C., a musician, read an article while on tour about another man who had been driving school buses longer than anyone else in Europe.
