After he retired from the acting business, Galloway settled in New Hampshire. As a columnist for the state's largest newspaper, he gets a weekly opportunity to remind readers, as he warned in an interview on an Ironside fan website (www.geocities.com/Broadway/Balcony/3129/Galloway/DonGalloway1.html), that Americans are "forgetting about freedom." Here are some examples from his Union Leader column...
• On obscenity: "If the FCC wants to ferret out obscenity, it should spend a day in the United States Congress." (February 20, 2004)
• On the benefits of seceding: "The Republic of New Hampshire [could eliminate] the tyrannical, unnecessary taxes and regulations imposed upon it by the dolts of Washington, DC." (March 12, 2004)
• On interpreting the constitution: "In New Hampshire, the Senate has decided by a rather narrow margin that our constitution actually means what it says. It's all about whether you can carry a gun if you want to, and the constitution says you absolutely can. The bill now goes to the House, where they will decide whether the constitution actually means what it says." (February 27, 2004)
• On taxes: "We all remember the horrors of slavery. The Internal Revenue Service reminds us of it each April 15th, and sometimes more often." (February 13, 2004)
Today, Galloway works on a corporate training team as a consultant specializing in public speaking. He also teaches acting seminars.

Quotable Q: Do you have strong political views? A: "I'm a Libertarian." Q: If you were president of the United States, what would be your first action? A: "I would try to convince the U.S. Congress to repeal about ninety percent of the idiotic legislation they've enacted." -- Don Galloway on an Ironside fan website |
Sad. Loved that show. Prayers for his family.
The first two seasons of “Ironside” are out on dvd. Always found it a somewhat routine series, but I particularly liked Galloway in it. Sorry to hear of his death.
RIP.
