Kelly went on to praise her boss, giving an insight into what he is like as a person. "Art was my first friend here. He really was. My first work friend and I'll never forget it. You were a tremendously kind person to me and everybody I know," she said. "You remember people's wedding anniversaries, I mean everyone's! He is the first phone call when something wonderful happens and the first phone call when something terrible happens. A steady, steady presence."
