Blue Bird Acquired AGAIN!

[Pete Masterson]

One of the subsidiaries of Cerberus Capital is North American Bus
Industries with subsidiary Optima Bus Corporation, both manufacture
transit busses. So there is some potential 'synergy' available. No RV
experience, but the Optima subsidiary makes an "old time" street car-
bus for tourist areas.
