“Must have been a special occasion” - Note by W.H. Ballard on the negative sleeve. Mr. Ballard apparently wrote the note some years after taking the photograph. It is possible that, from research quoted below, he took the photograph at the time of the first resolution in honor of Oscar Seavey by the town of Southwest Harbor in 1949. “The first school bus was a green 1938 Ford with mechanical brakes. Every morning Oscar Seavey would get under the bus and adjust the brakes.” – Ralph Stanley 05/11 This photograph shows the new International bus purchased in 1948 - also possibly the "special occasion" mentioned by Ballard.
