For 46 years, Beverly Summerhill has driven a school bus for the Ridgefield School District in Washington. She recently retired and says she's been "overwhelmed" with the emotion of the transition. Summerhill says she enjoyed seeing kids everyday, giving them treats on holidays and hearing about their accomplishments on a day-to-day basis.

She says one of her students came to her retirement party and told her, "You are just like my grandma." To which she responded, "I love you, too."

Think Out Loud host Dave Miller sits down with Summerhill to talk about about her 46 years on the job and some of her most memorable moments.
