AFSCME Council 75 re-elects Gillespie
president; dedicates building to Lucy
BEND – Gary Gillespie was re-
elected president of the American
Federation of State, County and Mu-

75. He defeated challenger Tina
Turner-Morfitt. Morfitt had served as
first vice president of the 22,000-

Delegates to the biennial conven-
