  • Mike Mason, of Midlothian, Virginia, had served his country for decades, first as a captain in the Marines, and later as the No. 4 man at the FBI. After leaving the Bureau and working at a Fortune 500 company, Mason found retirement didn't sit well with him. So, he started a new chapter in his life, as a school bus driver. Correspondent Steve Hartman reports.

      I have always hoped that CBS would devote more air time to Mr. Hartman, such as during the Morning Show, where there is more time to devote to great stories than on the Evening News..

    This wonderful man has the right perspective.. "what can be more important than the attention we pay to our education system?". If the USA wants to remain a world leading nation, we better start concentrating on educating ALL our kids. If we continue to have an uneducated population it will be the Achilles' heel, the downfall of this country. 🇺🇸📘

    You can guess all the things I want to say, because you want to say them too. So… I’ll just say what seems inadequate “Thank you, Mr. Mason. Thank you, Mr. Hartman”.

    👏👏 This is our future. My area has a 31% illiteracy rate & they are down drivers. Covid being the problem cause that twit Governor before school started put into effect mandate a mask loose educational funding. He’s slipping in judgement calls. Teachers beside drivers resigned. Over 11,000 students were in quarantine before the first month of school. Maybe next year this driver will switch to being a driver for high school. This group needs positive role models in their lives. If I was a principal I would be asking him now to come speak to my students.

    Good On Mike Mason. Lovely story. In Japan, many people who reach retirement, go on vocational courses and learn to do OTHER work - because if you stop doing something with your Life, you will die. So there are company executives and auto mechanics being re-trained, re-purposed and sent of to other countries to practice their new skills and bring Life to the under-privileged.

I do hope that you will choose the latter like he did and do something that will make difference and do something that your passionate about. It just takes one random act of kindness peeps. Thankyou for reading this peeps and always remember to stay humble and kind. 😊😊❤❤🤍🤍💙💙
