Distinguished Citizen Award

Al Kasper, right, vice president of Savage Arms, recently received the 2015 Distinguished Citizen Award from the Western Mass. Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Kasper was honored for his longstanding community involvement, leadership, and dedicated service to others. “It’s very humbling,” Kasper said of receiving the prestigious award. “The Western Massachusetts Boy Scouts are an important part of this community, and to be recognized by them is such an honor.” The Western Mass. Council presented Kasper with the Distinguished Citizen Award at a gala honoring area scouts. Pictured with Kasper is Gene Cassidy, CEO of the Eastern States Exposition, and a previous recipient of the Distinguished Citizen Award.
