While pursuing his graduate studies at Pitt, Chancellor Gallagher met his future wife, Karen Abrahamson, who was working in Pittsburgh as an occupational therapist. They were married in June of 1991 and are the parents of three boys. Though born and raised in Albuquerque, N.M., Chancellor Gallagher has Pittsburgh roots in addition to his graduate studies at Pitt. His father was born in Ireland, but moved with his family to be raised in Philadelphia when he was two years old. His mother was born in Sunbury, Pa., and moved to Pittsburgh in 1950 with her family when she was 12 years old. His mother’s family – grandparents Adolf and Agnes Selter, and their five children, Claire (his mother), Judy, David, Greg, and Sue – grew up in the same house in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh. His mother went to school in Carrick and graduated from St. Basil High School. Even though his parents eventually met in Albuquerque, they returned to be married in Pittsburgh in September 1961. Chancellor Gallagher has fond memories of visiting Pittsburgh on family vacations “back east” when he was growing up, including: looking down the hill from his grandparents’ house at the trolley lines, visiting the zoo and museums downtown, trips to see the Pirates play at Three Rivers Stadium, trips on the Good Ship Lollipop and visits to the “first real amusement park” in his life – Kennywood. In 1971, his father required medical treatment at NIH in Bethesda. So that his mother could be in Maryland, close to his father, he lived with his grandparents in Carrick for several weeks. During this time, he attended second grade classes at St. Basil’s grade school in Carrick – the same school that his mother had attended. His grandparents lived in Pittsburgh, in the same house in Carrick, until their deaths – his grandmother in December 1996, and his grandfather, in April 2011, at the age of 100 (just a few months short of his 101st birthday). 205 THE UNIVERSITY 2014-15 PITT BASKETBALL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR STEVE PEDERSON program’s future as freshmen direct reflection of the University of semesters.

He said, “Looking forward to seeing you at the clinic. You guys are first class and run an incredible clinic.” My hope is that you will feel the same after this weekend. I would also like to take time to welcome you to the Hyatt Regency, “Downtown Columbus”, and our home for the next few days. What an outstanding and first-class setting for one of the premiere high school coaches’ clinics. Please feel free to let any of the OHSBCA Board members or I know if we can personally help or assist you in any way this weekend while here at the clinic, or throughout the year.
