About twenty years ago I was visiting the Manhattan CO again (the first time in the late 1960's) and was introduced to Chief Kelty. He was giving a visitor from Denmark the grand tour. The dispatchers working the tour (half of whom seemed to be vollies on Long Island) told me he frequently came by with buffs from Europe.
