A Gaffney administration reunion?
No, not exactly, but when former Suffolk police commissioner John Gallagher shows up on Thursday as speaker for Dowling College's Distinguished Lecture series, it will reunite him for at least a day with Gaffney, now the president of the Oakdale school, and Eric Kopp, who is Gaffney's top aide as he was in the county office.
Gallagher, who for years has taught courses on comparative religion, is speaking on the impact of Islam on the rest of the world. Gallagher also speaks annually before the FBI academy in Quantico on the same subject.
