key for a donated '97 Toyota Corolla to South Huron District High School transportation

agnostics, brake systems and the basics including how to take a wheel off. Gerth said he
prefers the hands on approach with the real thing rather than students simply working with
models. "It's better for the kids to get in and'get greasy," he said. Frayne added he em-
