This photo taken Sept. 8, 2018, shows Wanda and Steve Hott discussing an issue with a piece of equipment at their home in Kirby, W. Va. Wanda Hott works as a professional school bus driver for Hampshire County Schools during a normal workday, but for more than a decade she’s also been a broom maker. “I got into broom making, because my sister wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas one year,” Hott said. “I needed a broom; I wanted a practical broom, and she got me a broom from Jim Shaffer.” (Daniel Walker/West Virginia Public Broadcasting via AP)
