Talk about a blast to the past. I ran into Paul Novak at St. Rose Church in Anthem, AZ. recently. Paul was a Transportation Director for Tempe Elementary District in years past and also sat on the School Bus Advisory Council with me for many, many years. Great Guy! It was so nice to see him and reminisce about years past in Pupil Transportation. What a small world.

Paul was recently the Project Manager for a new build of the St. Rose Church in Anthem.
