Patricia, or ''Miss Pat'' as she's known to her passengers, drives a yellow school bus. Miss Pat picks Nena up at her home in Woodlawn and drops her off at Robert E. Lucas Intermediate School in Sharonville. Patricia told me as we sat in her living room. It's a pretty rough bunch that rides her bus. And they like to pick on Nena.
Some kids can take being picked on.
The big kids would trip Nena as she walked down the aisle. They'd bump her in the head with their book bags and try to knock off her glasses. They'd pick up leaves from the floor and dump them on her hair. One day, on the way home, Miss Pat looked into her rear vision mirror and saw a girl pushing Nena into a seat. Miss Pat had heard and seen enough.
