Integrity, tirelessness and dedication were words used Thursday to describe Pipestem State Park Superintendent Steve Bolar, the recipient of the 2009 Distinguished West Virginian award.

Chief of State Parks Ken Caplinger nominated Bolar for the award and presented it to him Thursday at Bolar’s Summers County home.

The Distinguished West Virginian award was created to honor West Virginians who have contributed significantly to the state or state residents who have brought positive attention to West Virginia.

“Over his 32-year career, Steve Bolar has demonstrated the highest standard of resource and facility management, public service, dedication, self-sacrifice and hard work for the betterment of our state and its citizens, as well as his co-workers and the West Virginia state parks system,” Caplinger said.
