Bill Haas was a Bronx 1101 legend. He started at the phone company in 1964 and worked there for more than 40 years. Bill was Chief Steward at the Zerega Avenue repair garage for decades. He was the driving force behind the Commodore Award, which established two-man areas throughout the five boroughs for technician’s safety.

For being poor. For sleeping in their own bed. For watching birds in a park. For being Black.
