We Caught The "Bus"

We arrived at the PA Convention Center not knowing what time "the Bus" would arrive. As with anything, we searched for the schedule aka the Information Booth. We found out that we only had 20 minutes until the arrival! We rushed over to the demonstration stage, scanned the crowd, and found front row seats!!!
After a short wait, Jerome "the Bus" Bettis came on stage. The crowd erupted and he gave us a big infectious smile and hello. He then proceeded to talk about asthma and the different methods of prevention and maintenance. He talked about having a game plan when you have asthma so that you can be in control of the disease. He even snuck in a comment about a game plan to beat the Eagles! The crowd went crazy! It was great.
Once finished on stage, he went over to one of the booths to sign pictures for fans and yes, I was able to get my famed picture of the two of us signed. He was very patient and kind with each and every fan. I must say that it was a fantastic day. This is definitely a "Bus" that I did not mind waiting around for.
