Antonio Macías Pizarro, Head of Night Surveillance, 1974-2009
Francisco Calvo Serraller was thoroughly involved in our work affairs. He wasn't here long, they didn't let him stay on after some mess with some chairs and photographs. Damn those chairs! His time here was too short. He would have become a great director for the staff. Technically it might be a whole different story, but he was a great individual. I think that, despite his short stretch of time here, he is greatly remembered. Like the one who just left, Miguel Zugaza, another kind man... but with a different make-up.
He has worked at the Museum for the Night Surveillance Service for more than three decades.
