Summary
Andrew J. Gallagher, identified as the son of Johnny and Lillian Gallagher of St. James, was reported in December 1961 as serving aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Owasco and earning a First Class Quartermaster rating after a 30-day Ocean Station assignment off Argentina and Newfoundland.
Evidence and limits
The December notice is a community service report. The matching Owasco context supports a probable connection to the June “A. J. Gallagher” notice, but no full personnel file is held.
