LAURENT & KOMARNO Bus driver retires from route after 28 years By Jennifer McFee The wheels on the bus will go round and round in 2016 — but without the familiar smile of bus driver Gwen Bu- chanan. Buchanan, known as “the treat lady,” drove her last bus load of kids on Fri- day, Dec. 18 before embarking on re- tirement. Her husband, Bruce, was the one who put the wheels in motion for Bu- chanan’s nearly 28-year career. He became a bus driver while Gwen was a stay-at-home mom with three kids. At the time, he encouraged his wife to become certifi ed as a bus driver in case he needed her to fi ll in for him while he dealt with matters on the family’s cattle and grain farm near Argyle. Gwen got her licence and became busy with the Interlake School Divi- sion, driving 47 of 52 routes as a spare bus driver over the years.
