Oth< B a foot PRAIRIE HILL (AP) — Lanell Huckaby says she has always been fascinated by large trucking rigs and the adventurous lure of the open road. When she found herself looking for a new direction after a divorce, Huckaby, 32, of Mesquite, went to the American Truck Driving School, a nationally-known training pro gram based in Central Texas. Huckaby says she also was inter ested in truck driving because of the good pay and the opportunity to travel. “You sure can’t see the country working in a factory,” she said. Every morning, seven days a week, ATD students can be found on the runway of an abandoned air field in Limestone County. Once used to train pilots in World War II, the old runway provides an off-the- road arena for the rookie drivers. Erom the field’s renovated tower, an instructor guides student drivers in as many as 60 trucks at a time. The school’s practice area is about a quarter of a mile off U.S. 84 in this town of about 150, approximately 25 miles northeast of W'aco. The school has 30 instructors at Prairie Hill, who work the students 10 hours a day, seven days a week. Usually, mornings are spent in the trucks and afternoons are spent in the classroom. ATD also has two campuses in Michigan, but Prairie Hill is its larg est. The company’s headquarters are nearby in Elm Mott, just north of Waco. Bob Bird, director of training, says the ATD program has between 150 and 200 students from all across the country enrolled for its three- week courses throughout the year. Most of the school’s students are me Sh tmngtoi •cluichinj at the x • • Dorrr $C fr Brazi 8 • • men, Bird says.

It’s sad.” Merchants at the mall had been staying open on a month-to-month lease since the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp. took over ownership in November 1986.
