In the 1960;s the two
brothers bought their first coach style bus. When the 1970's rolled
around, they began going on longer charter trips outside of the Minnesota
area. In 1977, Herb sold his share of the business to George and his
son, Charles "Chuck" Rustad and they started Rustad Tours. It began as
one and two day tours, and by 1978 Rustad Tours expanded by taking tour
groups to the Black Hills, Minnesota North Shore, and in time, Nashville,
Branson, Yellowstone National Park, and Washington D.C. June Rustad, Chuck's mother, would be the escort and
Chuck would be the driver. In the 1980's Jean Rustad, Chuck's wife,
began running the many aspects of the business, school busses, charter
trips, and tours while Chuck began traveling across the countries of The USA
and Canada. George and June Rustad retired to a 40-acre farm 8 miles
outside the town of Kerkhoven.
