This article is at least in part a Hoax. The Daily News staff did win a the Pulitzer. The article specifically claims the photo highlighted by the Pulitzer was taken by the subject, however the sources I can find credit the photo to George Mattson. (Also it wasn't a B-52). I have been unable to verify the other claims in the article. While the subject may well be notable, in light of the identifiable false claims, all the claims should be fully documented or we should proceed as if they too are hoaxes and delete the article. At his time, I don't think its obvious enough for G3 Monty  845  21:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Note - The creator of this article is User:Kelleher11209 and likely Daniel Kelleher, also mentioned in the article. WP:COI and although not an autobiography, the fact that they're related implies much of WP:AB. Mkdw talk 23:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I am author of the article and the below references should be checked. The mention of Walter Kelleher's family and the use of Daniel Kelleher have been removed, as well as a the reference to a B52. Everything else in this piece is based on facts.Kelleher11209 (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

This is not in fact Daniel Kelleher that wrote the story but I'm glad we like to make assumptions when recording facts. Kelleher11209 (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelleher11209 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
