A lifelong Hadley resident who has been a civilian dispatcher since his high school graduation in the mid-1970s is the state’s Telecommunicator of the Year.
Henry Baj, who has handled dispatching duties on almost every Saturday day shift since the summer of 1976 and in recent years fills other shifts on a regular basis, was recently at the State House, as part of 911 Goes to Boston day, where he was presented with the award from the Massachusetts Communications Supervisors Association.
