From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 16, 1989:

A Journal-World reporter spoke this week with Darrell Saile, who was marking the end of a 31-year career with the Greyhound bus line. Saile recalled the history and highlights of his career, during which he had been recognized for his safety record, longevity with the company, and the accumulation of more than 2 million miles of driving. From 1958 to 1962, Saile had driven the Kansas University football teams to and from their games. “Today, they just fly everywhere they go,” he remarked. “We used to haul them all over.” He had also transported the KU basketball teams during the coaching days of Ted Owens and “hauled the high school football teams on Friday.” He had also driven Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, pep clubs, bands, cheerleaders, and high school seniors skipping school on the annual “sneak day.” In 1973, Saile had started driving the Greyhound bus route between Kansas City and Tulsa, which had exposed him to a new diversity among his passengers. “You have to throw off drunks every now and then,” Saile recalled, adding that he had also experience “women having babies, but they never had one on my bus. I dropped them off in towns along the way.” He also recalled intervening with a runaway girl who had tried to cut herself with a pocket knife, confiscating the knife and putting her into the custody of the police at the next stop. Saile, who was looking forward to retirement, said he had recently experienced his first airplane trip when he and his wife visited Chicago. As for buses, he said with a laugh, “I don’t even want to see one.”
