(Frankfort, KY) - Twenty-five civilian employees were honored by the Kentucky State Police at a special ceremony held today at the Kentucky History Center in Frankfort.

Henderson native and resident William Oscar Bunch was honored as the KSP Civilian Employee of the Year. A nine-year veteran of the agency, Bunch is a Maintenance Worker II at KSP Post 16 in Henderson. He is also responsible for maintaining KSP Post 2 in Madisonville.

"Oscar is 77 years of age and seldom takes a sick day," says Capt. Ricki Allen, commander of Post 16. "His work ethic is exceptional as evidenced by the fact that he starts work very early each day to complete many of his duties before the arrival of most post personnel. He keeps a very positive attitude while attending to the needs of not one, but two posts."
