I have no doubt. Several years ago one of our vacationing dispatchers was killed in a motorcycle accident in another state. When word came to us I was told to call the Sheriff's Office up there and get more information. I reached an answering machine that said "
the deputy" was out of the office and would check messages on his return. It was so long ago that I don't recall the state, but it was somewhere between Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
