Seeking Refuge
When Bruce Beach moved his family to Canada in 1979, he did not look for just any spot to transfer to. Instead, he brought his entire family to the hometown of his wife, Jean. Horning’s Mills is one of the communities comprising the southwestern township of Melancthon, Ontario. It is approximately a 2-hour drive from Toronto and it can be reached by bus, car, shuttle, taxi, and train. Beach felt that it was the safest spot for his family. It was also the best place for him to start on his momentous project.

Odd Collection
From 1980 to 1985, Bruce Beach started an unusual collection. He started buying old and retired school buses wherever they could be found. Each one of these buses cost him approximately $300. He simply asked for these buses to be delivered to his house. During this period, he was able to acquire 42 retired school buses. Others may think that this was an expensive thing to do, but Beach actually had a plan in mind. And, these buses will play a crucial role in the plan that he was about to set in motion.
