The Pennsylvania Bus Association (PBA) recognized nine PBA members’ employees as the recipients of the Drivers and Employees of Distinction Award. 

The recipients were honored at the June 21st luncheon during the Annual Conference at Wyndham Garden, State College, Pennsylvania. PBA gave each recipient engraved plaques, pins, and Bulova watches.

We thank Lois Stoltzfus of the Dutchman's Hospitality and Ohio Star Theatre for sponsoring the luncheon, and sharing peanut butter spread!
