The moderator of the PA Blind and Low Vision Support Group was recently recognized for his work with a King Charles III Coronation Medal.

Don Horncastle was nominated by the Canadian National Institute of the Blind (CNIB) and received the Medal on July 30 at the East End Community Club.

Horncastle said he knew he was receiving the award, but had to keep quiet about it.

“I was given a little bit of a heads up a few months ago that this might be coming my way. That was a surprise. Then I had to keep it a secret,” Horncastle said.

“That was the hard part because various people are saying, ‘well you should get some recognition for what you’re doing or you should do this or this should happen or whatever’ and I knew something was happening, but I couldn’t say anything,” he added.
