I knew Terry when he guarded the Andrew Jackson Building. He was a good, polite, guard. I didn't like it when the civil service Capitol police jobs were replaced by people who did not work for the civil service. I don't recall what his rank was but I called him Officer Finnerty. When I had to go into the office outside the usual working hours due to computer problems I had to fix, it was always nice to see Officer Finnerty at the guard desk. He made me feel safer. Although it has been some years since he passed I know that his family still misses him.
