OATS Transit bus driver receives October’s Hometown Hero Award
ST. JOSEPH, Mo (News-Press NOW) -- This month's Hometown Hero, sponsored by Tolly and Associates American Family Insurance, is Don Howell, an OATS Transit bus driver for 21 years.
In retirement, Howell tries to stay active by playing golf, bowling and helping people in need of transportation.
"These people that I take, they have no other way of getting to shop or to the doctor's appointments if it wasn't for the OATS bus and that's what I do," Howell said. "I thought I was just an everyday Joe, and here it is, you just never know. I appreciate the award, that's for sure.
