Eugene
Gallaghan
(1904_1990)
Lefty was an avid mineral collectorand his
specimens include some magnificent pieces
of smithsonite from the world-famous Kelly
mine in the Magdalenamining district, central New Mexico. He oversaw the transfer of
New Mexico Tech's Mineral Museum from
the basement of Brown Hall, the administration building, to four largebays in the new
(in 1958)wing of Workman Center, where it
becamethe responsibility of NMBMMR. With
his encouragement,the Mineral Museum assembled one of the more significant collections in the Southwest. As Director of
NMBMMR, he was fiscally conservative, as
required by the times, but he encouraged
and supported new ideas and new projects
that helped development of the State'smineral resources. In addition to overseeing
projects, he personally wrote some 17 published reports including three on silver, lead,
and zinc deposits of New Mexico.
As evidencedby his membership in Sigma
Delta Psi, Lefty was an active athlete. During
the middle 60'she was the most skilled mem-ber of a doubles handball team that twice
won the New Mexico Tech campus championship, playing against tall vigorous juniors and seniors.After his retirement in 1968.
he had considerablymore time to play tennis, which he did almostevery moming, often
with his wife Betty. Some of his last active
momentswere on the tenniscourt. AnAlvin
j. Thompson ScholarshipFund has been established at New Mexico Tech in his honor.
A moderately tall, lanky man, Eugene set
a fast.pace in the field and had penitrating
questions concerning interpretation of outcrops. He was a living exampleof the axiom
that the best geologistsare those who see
the most rocks. He directed by leading and
working closelywith his staff. He was always
a perfect gentlemanand was sympatheticbut
firm. With obvious reference to the Irish
background of the name Callaghan,many of
his friends called him Pat, but that referred
to the good qualitiesof the lrish. In meeting
deadlineshe tended to work thirty-six houri
straight. Thus, after such a period, it was
safest to insist on doing the driving, so he
co rld catch up on his sleep as a passenger
and not as the driver. Overall, he had encompassing appreciation for the many beneficial-aspectsof geologic studies, rdnging
trom developing mineral resourcesto helping laypersonsenjoy the scenery that his
resulted from geologic forces. A premier,
practical economic geologist, he enthralled
his students at Indiana and Utah universities
with hands-on descriptions of Utah's Marysvale alunite, Nevada's Gabbs magnesite,
Indiana's Gardner Ridge kaolin-haloysite,
New Mexico's Santa ldta copper, tvteiico'i
Santa Eulalia silver-lead, Cyprus' Skouriotissa copper, and Brazil's Minas Geraesdiamonds and hematite deposits.
He left us January 8, 1990,two days before
his 86th birthday.
