Yes, and I have the story here-- it made the front page of all the Boston 
newspapers-- "Tragedy on the Morning Traffic Beat"-- WEEI Copter Crashes in 
Quincy; 2 Die, 4 Hurt."  27 December 1977 was when it happened, at 7.30 
AM.  Kevin O'Keefe was on a week's vacation and the person taking his place 
Henry (Chip) Whitmore plus the pilot Richard (Red) Bank were the two 
fatalities.
