Excerpt: Selected by New York Knicks Harry J. Gallatin (born April 26, 1927 in Roxana, Illinois) is an American former professional basketball player and coach. Gallatin played nine seasons for the New York Knicks in the NBA from 1948 to 1957, as well as one season with the Detroit Pistons in 1958. In 1954 Gallatin led the NBA in rebounding, and was named to the All-NBA First Team. Gallatin was named to the All-NBA Second Team in 1955. For his career, Gallatin played in seven NBA All-Star Games. Growing up Gallatin had taken interest in all sports and has been quoted as saying, "Competition has always been my cup of tea." His drive for competition was amplified during his first year in high school as he attended Wood River High School from 1940-41. Since Roxana and some other outlying communities like Bethalto did not have high schools of their own at the time, all of the athletes in the area attended Wood River and thus increased the level of competition among the athletes. The following year Roxana had a high school of its own. He graduated from Roxana High School in 1944 and was granted a basketball scholarship by Northeast Missouri State Teachers College, which is known today as Truman State University. However, after graduating from Roxana High School he enlisted in the Navy and served until the end of World War II. On his first day at Northeast Missouri, he met a girl by the name of Bev. They were married about a year after college. He said he wouldn't have been able to accomplish everything that he has in his life without her.
