I am deeply, deeply pleased and believe that we have a Customs Commissioner of whom we can be proud, who will do the kind of outstanding work that Ray Kelly has done over the years in law enforcement. He is a native New Yorker. He spent quite a bit of his time as a young man in the village of Island Park, where I live and grew up.
