Jerry "Bull" Baylor was given the high accolade of the Spirit of the Games award during the Closing Ceremonies of the 31st annual National Veterans Wheelchair Games on Saturday, 06 August. He was recognized for his personal determination, work ethic, and encouragement of other wheelchair-using veterans to get active. Bull is Keystone PVA's Sports Director, was involved in planning the 31st Games, and won five gold medals during the Pittsburgh Games.
Also during the Closing Ceremonies, Keystone PVA President Fred Tregaskes congratulated the athletes and described them as men and women who do not have "can't" in their vocabularies.
