    HEROES for JUSTICE CELEBRATIONS Peoria Oak Brook September 28, 2017 October 27, 2017 The Waterhouse Hyatt Lodge Welcome to Our 40th Anniversary Heroes for Justice Celebrations! It is with sincere pleasure that I welcome you to our 40th Anniversary Heroes for Justice Celebrations! In a tumultuous year full of twists and turns, I have looked forward to these events as an oasis. Tonight is a chance for us to connect with Prairie State friends of past, present, and future, and an opportunity to recall where we have been and all that we have accomplished. The following pages profile many individuals, our Heroes, who have demonstrated a deep commitment to our mission of securing equal access to justice. We celebrate their dedication and their generosity with their time and talents. Their efforts have been instrumental in making Prairie State what it is today—a vibrant program that creates positive change for the clients and communities we serve. While mere words cannot convey the depth of our gratitude, please take some time to read about the incredible devotion of these individuals, and join us in thanking them. As we look ahead it is certain that we will face new challenges, but the legacy of our Heroes has created a solid foundation for Prairie State, and I am confident that we will achieve even greater accomplishments. However, one thing will remain the same: Prairie State Legal Services’ success will depend heavily on people like you—champions of our cause! Thank you for joining us tonight for this celebration and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

We understand that every person leaves a unique legacy and that the greatest tribute is not grief but gratitude for a life well lived. We are privileged to have been entrusted by so many families over the years. This Distinguished Residents Book features the biographies and photos of some of those individuals whose legacies have impacted our lives 2 and helped to shape our culture and our community. It has been created to honor their memory and to inspire generations by their extraordinary accomplishments, tenacity and philanthropy. There are stars whose brightness is visible on earth although they have long burned out. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for us all.

    Vol. 107 No. 45 Student Center, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19711 Tuesday, October 25, 1914 Week~nd blaze 'suspicious_'- by Valerie Greenberg One of the largest fires in recent Newark history gutted the top floors of the historic Newark Opera House on Main Street early Saturday morn­ ing as hl,lndreds of people watched from below. Fourteen fire companies battled the blaze, termed ''suspicious" by Police, which destroyed the four­ story building's top floor and severely damaged its third. The fire was brought under control at about 4 a.m., police said, three hours after it started. One firefighter sustained minor steam burns and was released after receiving treatment at the Newark Emergency Room. No other injuries were reported. Police said the fire, which apparently started in two places at about 12:50 a.m. "is of suspicous nature," and is under investigation by the Newark Fire Marshall's of­ fice. Demolition of the building was scheduled to begin Mon­ day. The building's owner, G.W. Bailey, said the danger of falling debris prompted his decision to begin demolition as soon as possible.

  • Judaica Americana
    Judaica Americana JONATHAN D. SARNA A bibliography of monographic and periodical literature published since I975 and received in the Library of the American Jewish Histor­ ical Society. Categories: Bibliography, Biography & Autobiography, Cultural Life, Economic Life, Education, Genealogy & Family History, History, Holo­ caust, Legal & Political Life, Literature, Performing & Visual Arts, Phi­ losophy & Thought, Regional & Local History, Relations with Non­ Jews, Religion, Social Sciences, Special Studies, Women, Zionism & State of IsraeL Note to Readers: The '7udaica Americana" section of this journal first appeared in vol. 52:I (September 196z) under the editorship of Dr. Nathan M. Kaganoft who had then just been appointed as librarian of the American Jewish Historical Society. From that time onward, un­ til his death on February 4, I99Z, Dr. Kaganoff painstakingly compiled, annotated, and edited this section, which appeared regularly twice a year. All told, Dr. Kaganoff listed about ten thousand individual items dealing with American Jewish history and life during the three decades in which he produced "Judaica Americana"-many of which but for him might easily have been lost and left unrecorded. The burgeoning growth of American Jewish historical scholarship during the past two decades has made the task of maintaining biblio­ graphical control over the field ever more difficult. To identify, acquire, and list all of the many hundreds of books, periodicals, pamphlets, and articles published in the field every year has become an increasingly ex­ pensive and time-consuming task, one beyond the current resources of the American Jewish Historical Society. As a result, changes in the na­ ture and format of this bibliography have become necessary.
