I’m here this afternoon with Eugene Reineke, but you mentioned usually you’re known as Gene. Reineke: That’s correct, Mark. DePue: Why don’t you tell us where we are. Reineke: We’re here at my current employer, which is Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It’s a public relations firm, and we’re located at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. DePue: Which has a fascinating history itself. Someday I’ll have to delve into that one. We’re obviously here to talk about your experiences in the Edgar administration, but you had a lot of years working with Jim Thompson as well, so we’re going to take quite a bit of time. In today’s session, I don’t know that we’ll get to much of the Edgar experience because you’ve got enough information to talk about before that time, which is valuable history for us.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks at a Reception for Senatorial Candidate Alexi Giannoulias in Chicago, Illinois October 7, 2010 The President. Hello, Chicago! Oh, it's good to be home! It is good to be home. Got all my friends—all my friends in the house. Audience member. Long time no see. The President: Long time no see. It is wonderful to see—I see so many familiar faces here. Just a couple of people I've got to make mention of. First of all, he may be in my remarks, but I just want to say that there is nobody who was a better partner to me when I was in the United States Senate, nobody who is a better friend to working families here in Illinois, and nobody who is a better debater on the floor of the United States Senate than the man to my left, Dick Durbin. So love Dick Durbin. Love Dick Durbin. I love Loretta Durbin more. [Laughter] But Dick Durbin I love. We also—if I'm not mistaken, we've got the junior Senator from Illinois, Roland Burris, in the house. Where's Roland? There he is right there. Appreciate Roland for his outstanding service. We've got the next Lieutenant Governor of the great State of Illinois, Sheila Simon, who, by the way, knows a little bit about good Senators. Congressman Danny Davis is in the house. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is here—love Jan. Attorney General Lisa Madigan is here. Comptroller Dan Hynes is here. Senate President John Cullerton is here.

  • July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C
    Newsletter #48 - July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C. Circuit - www.dcchs.org How Linda Ferren Brought Then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Vision of the Society to Life Linda Ferren, after 30 years of exemplary service as Executive Director of the Historical Society, retired March 31, 2021. Today’s Society is a monument to Linda’s creativity and drive. In 1990, Linda, then-Circuit Executive, received a call from then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judge Ginsburg invited Linda to come to her chambers to discuss an idea – the creation of a historical society for the D.C. Circuit Courts. In particular, Judge Ginsburg wished to facilitate the writing of a history of these Courts. Responding to the request, Linda brought together judicial and bar leaders to establish the Society in 1990. Primary among the Society’s early accomplishments was the publication of Jeffrey Morris’ History of the Courts of the DC Circuit published in 2001. Linda’s vision for the Society went well beyond the book. She brought the Oral History Project into being in 1991 and has managed it ever since. The archive available on the Society’s website now includes 110 lifetime histories of judges, lawyers and court staff. Fifty-two additional histories are in progress. Linda has had a hand in every new activity the Society has undertaken, from the annual Mock Court for DC high schoolers now in its 16th year to the Judge Patricia Wald Programs on Life and Law in the Courts of the DC Circuit. When websites were still considered the domain of spiders, Linda led the Society to create one and publish its work product there.
