York County honors Pulsoni
York County commissioners recently honored Buxton Select Board member Frank Pulsoni with a Spirit of America award for his community contributions.
Pulsoni, the former Select Board chairman, was recognized for his work as a police officer, interim police chief, firefighter, EMT and dispatcher.
He thanked his wife Linda for her support. “My wife has been beside me for 44 years,” Pulsoni said in a county press release. “When you’re in public service, it is not just you.”
Fifteen awards were given to individuals and groups in 12 municipalities at the Nov. 15 ceremony. Recipients are nominated by residents and the county recognizes volunteerism with Spirit of America awards annually.
“Government wouldn’t function if (you) didn’t volunteer your time and resources,” York County Manager Greg Zinser said. “Thank you very much for your dedication and hard work.”
