Page 12 thursdoy, Dec. 13. 1984 Bremerton. Wash. The Sun Three convicted in 'Gamscam' trial adjusting to life at home after prison TACOMA (AP) — Six months after being released from prison, the three men convicted in the so-called "Gamscam" case are putting; their lives back together an<d looking forward to the first Christmas with their families in three years. Gordon Walgren, 51, of Bremerton, who was Senate majority leader when arrested, does some political consulting, watches nfter real estate he owns andi pursues his lawsuits against the federal government. Walgren is also trying to regain f;he right to practice law. John Bagnariol, 52, who was speaker of the state House of Representatives when arrested by the JFBI in 1980, has opened an Italian restaurant and hopes to regain his license to sell insurance. Pat Gallagher, 53, a legislative lob'byist at the time of his arrest, 'works on advertising for a groujpp of property developers. The 'trio was released from Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in May after serving two ye;ars on charges of conspiring, to use their influence to bring casino gambling into Wash ington State. FB.'l agents testified at their trial that the trio agreed to push casino gambling operations through the Legislature for a 'percentage of the profits. Of !:he three, only Walgren is closfj to the political picture toda y. In the last election he advised candidates, helped in their campaigns, and is "not closing the door" on a return to a political career. He goes to Olympia often. B.^ignariol attended one Dem- insurance agent, but I haven't heard from the insurance commissioner's office yet," he said. "I do the bookwork and the things I can do legally without my license. There are a lot of things to dd around an insurance office." Bagnariol said he thought he was taking a chance by putting his name on the restaurant after his time in prison, "but the reception I've received has been excellent. It's very warm. "I went to a Democratic Party fund-raising party at Longa- cres, wondering how people would greet me, and everyone seemed to come up and say 'Hi.' I got a very warm feeling from that." Gallagher said he is "back in reality, working for some people who build shopping malls and shopping centers. I deal with the people who sell the space and create ad programs. "I train staff to design ads, and work with personnel. I've done this sort of thing all my life." Gallagher said he got his job just one week after leaving prison "so I haven't had a chance to goof off yet. I'm concentrating on getting my two kids through school." He said he was surprised to see that so little had changed in the world since he went to prison. He occasionally makes speeches at service clubs and other meetings about his experiences in prison. "It doesn't even seem that we've been gone at all," he said. "Everyone's been fantastic. They made it so easy to slip back into my life. "Lobbying at the Legislature seems a million years awaj'. I ©era tie-party iwM&aa-aM.waJS.^^ I like we'll received. He says he has no plans to return to the political! arena, but occasionally go<j;3 to Olympia to visit politi- ca.'l friends. G allagher says he is satisfied working in a new advertising career, even though he lives in Olympia where the action is. All three have returned to a no'rmal life. "I'm doing a little consulting work for a variety of people," sb id Walgren. "Primarily, they have been political consultations. I give them my expertise on what goes on in the Legislature. "I'll be going down during the (coming legislative) session. After all, I still have a lot of interest in some of the things f;hat happen down there." Walgren said he spends a little time on his property investments, though there are not a great many. Walgren said he is spending most of his time on his lawsuit against the federal government, filed two years ago while he was in prison. The suit, alleging violation of his civil rights by the government's sting operation, asks $9 million damages. While he would like a monetary settlement, Walgren said he wants mostly to clear his name. He wants to regain the right to practice law, too. "I have a reinstatement hearing pending Dec. 17 before the board of governors of the Washington State Bar Association," he said. "I am very hopeful they will approve my petition for reinstatment." Bagnariol, who lives in Ren- ton, is almost totally absorbed in his new and thriving restaurant business. "We opened our restaurant — Bagnariol's Vineyard Inn — in Renton on the last Wednesday of November. We have done a gangbuster of a business — full house every night," he said. Bagnariol said he is still helping manage the family insurance office, which is run by his wife. "I've passed all the exams to be reinstated as an to sell. I'm an ad man and salesman at heart. I have found this life much more satisfying than the fast lane."
