Enterprising Gallagher Family Has
Restaurant P:«eh, Garden and Beat
Many years ago every family in
the village of Kodiak had a garden
and raised virtually all of their
own fresh vegetables.
Proof that it can and still is done
is demonstrated in the above pic
ture by Tommy Gallagher whose
charming wife, Mary, raised the
fine cauliflower and firm head of
lettuce as well as a large variety
of other garden produce while her
husband, as usual during the sum
mer, was busy seining salmon on
his boat Butch.
Mrs. Gallagher, who is noted for
her amazing Green Thumb, also
had an unusually large variety of
flowers set in a beautiful array
around their lawn.
The Gallaghers also own and op
erate the Polar Bear restaurant
where much of their fresh garden
produce is served in season.
Besides being engaged in fish
ing, farming and business here,
the enterprising Gallagher family
also raise beef cattle, chickens and
geese on nearby Long Island.
They have a daughter, Delores,
who attended Methodist University
in Anchorage the last two years
and enters Oregon State U. this
fall. She is now visiting her brother
Russell (Butch) who graduated
from the University of California
at Berkeley this spring and who
wi.'l be entering George Washing
ton Law School in Washington,
D.C., this month. (The Mirror staff
confiscated the box of fresh pro
duce Tommy was carrying when
we snagged him for this photo
sketch.)
Two Kodiak High
Seniors Enlist In
National Guard
Two 17-year-old Kodiak high
seniors joined the Kodiak National
Guard unit Wednesday evening.
Fred Zharoff, son of Mrs. Annie
Zharoff, and Leroy Spinharney,
son of Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Spinhar
ney, who were sworn in by Lt.
Ronald M. Chase, company execu
tive officer. They plan to start
their sixth months active duty
training in the fall of 1963.
Lt. Chase said that Kodiak high
school seniors and other inter
ested island youth are invited to
attend the regular Guard meet
ings and inquire about enlistment
regulations.
Three members of the local unit
will attend the commander’s con
ference in Juneau this week. They
are Lt. Chase, Sfc. Frank Pagano
and S/Sgt. Robert Norman, unit
administrator.
LOSE A WATCH?
The Kodiak Police Department
has in its possession a good wrist
watch which was turned in there,
and it will be returned to the
owner on proper identification.

Historical Group Plans Renovation
Of Museum; Announces Other Plans
Plans for renovation of Kodiak’s
temporary museum drew the spot
light Wednesday night when the
Kodiak and Aleutian Island His
torical Society met.
Estimates are to be obtained for
leveling, repainting and reheating
the Muesum as it does not appear
likely that a new location will be
available in the near future.
It was brought out that the Ko
diak museum could be an attrac
tive drawdng card for tourists wi*h
the advent of the Kodiak ferry.
It was through the combined ef
forts of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Historical Society that the
Erskine residence (old Russian
American Company warehouse and
headquarters) has received the
designation as a National Histor
ical Site, and now the group hopes
to have it designated as a National
