The role of two Montanans in saving the red buses of Glacier National Park is recounted in a new book, “Glacier’s Reds—The quest to save the park’s historic buses” by historian Ray Djuff of Calgary, Canada.
Dennis Schwecke of Great Falls was an engineer at Ford Motor Company with a personal interest in the red buses when he was asked in 1999 to inspect them following the discovery of safety issues. Schwecke’s selection was pivotal in the eventual rescue of the buses.
