Gillespie recalled how Cooper, who was one of his teachers in the mid-1970s at James McDivitt Elementary School, unsuccessfully challenged then-Assemblyman William Flynn for the Democratic incumbent's 13th District seat. Flynn's wife, present-day Middlesex County Clerk Elaine Flynn, was a teacher at the same school.
