Feeling Happy
Hearing Ole' Houn'dog
GOODKNIGHT
There was a Greyhound Bus Driver named Goodknight and I cannot remember his first name.
He was from Arkansas, lived near Little Rock and had developed a friendship with the Governor by way of Fox Hunting. Goodknight was a nice fellow, and had interesting stories to tell of their fox hunting trips. Just matter of fact stories,never bragging, friends having a good time. Some State Troopers having Hounds, went fox hunting too. Goodknight's hounds were equal to the best.
I never knew of Goodknight to 'bid' a regular run. He seemed to prefer the extra board. He also mentioned doing some Preaching here and there.
This Fox Hunting was during the late 1950s and 60s. Then he moved to Tulsa and worked the extra board. Trusted his friends in Arkansas to care for the Hounds.The Tulsa to Dallas Routes remained mostly 2-way roads.
Near Colbert Oklahoma, almost to the Texas line, the road had a long curve, horseshoe shaped, sort of a grassy park within the curve, fairly level ground, road could easily been strait thru. One bad night Goodknight dozed off and indeed drive strait thru. Full load of passengers on that Scenicruiser, no-one hurt, some did'nt even wake up. Goodknight woke up though and drove that bus right back up onto the road after going thru that grassy park. He created a convenient Shortcut.
An Oklahoma Trooper even commended Goodknight for doing such a good job while dozing. Take the Bus and Leave the driving to us. sam
