Doris Kelley Barker remembered:
My Dad V. Franklin Kelley loved the Yankees and especially Charlie Keller. I can still see him with his ear close to the radio listening to the Yankee games. He also listened to the Orioles. I remember he loved a Walter (somebody) from Germantown, Md. that was a great player with the Yankees.
