Thomas Family Ministries bus, was one of hundreds of buses at the National Quartet Convention

in Louisville, KY back in September...and our son Timothy and I had the opportunity to meet Bill and

Nola Connor of Dell Rapids, SD who own, and publish, THE PRIVATE COACH ENTHUSIAST Magazine.

Bill and his wife were there, at the invitation of Maurice Templeton, to take in the Convention,

take pictures, and write an article that would become entitled:   "Buses Bound for Glory". 

     The following is an excerpt of that article as well as the bus photo's printed in the Feature Story

by Bill Conner.  We're are so very pleased to have the back of our bus shown with a few of the others

The following is just a short excerpt from the article on page 20-21 of   Volumn One, Issue Six:

"Imagine our surprise when we stopped to phtograph the first coach we approached, only to learn

that they were subscribers to Private Coach Enthusiast Magazine.   That was exactly what hap-

pened when we met Tim Thomas and his dad of the Thomas Family Ministries out of Maysville,

Oklahoma.  See there beautiful Eagle above in the fourth frame from the left."
