THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE - Pioneering begins with the
birth of an infant telephone industry over 100 years ago. One of the first Pioneers was Angus
McDonald, who worked through the blizzard of 1888
to keep open the only long distance telephone circuits between New York and Boston.ANATOMY OF AN EMBLEM - The Pioneer Triangle was
adopted because its three sides are intended to symbolize the three principal objectives
of the Telephone Pioneers.
