This document consists of the first three issues of the newsletter, covering the year 2001. Issue 1 introduces the newsletter, highlights the work of an Alabama early childhood researcher working to create a multistate technical assistance program that would share resources across many Southern states, and describes an early childhood best practices site. Focusing on program quality, the second issue features case studies of two exemplary programs, describes the NAEYC accreditation process, highlights family resource center services in a rural county, and points out the gap between what early childhood development research says children need and what is actually offered in preschool settings.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009 Remarks at the Abraham Lincoln Association Annual Banquet in Springfield, Illinois February 12, 2009 Thank you very much. Well, it is wonderful to be back in Springfield, and I see so many familiar faces—to Mr. Hart; to Marilyn; to my Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood; to two of the finest Governors that we've had in the past, Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar; to Lura Lynn Ryan and to our new Governor, who's going to be doing outstanding work for us in the future, Pat Quinn; to Reverend McCants and to my dear friend Loretta Durbin. I do feel guilty because Dick was the one who brought this event to my attention. [Laughter] I'm here, and he's there. [Laughter] But part of the reason that Dick Durbin has been such a great friend, not just to me but to the people of Illinois, is because his work always comes first. And he has been unbelievable in providing leadership in the Senate through thick and through thin. And I'm very, very grateful to him. He is one of my greatest friends, and I would not be standing here if it were not for Dick Durbin. So please give Dick Durbin a big round of applause. So it is wonderful to be back in Springfield, the city where I got my start in elective office, where I served for nearly a decade. I see some of my colleagues, your attorney general, Lisa Madigan, in the house. And you've got some constitutional officers there.

    6 Lura Lynn Ryan was a passionate, caring, determined woman who dedicated her life to helping others. She purposely looked for ways to give to those less fortunate, selfl essly giving of her time and talents to enrich the lives of those around her. Lura Lynn faced many challenges in her lifetime, yet enjoyed so many triumphs. Her greatest triumph was found in her beloved family, who carry her unconditional love and selfl essness with them today. Her life was lived as a testament to her faith, family and community and serves as an inspiration to us all. Born on July 5, 1934, Lura Lynn Lowe grew up on the family farm in Aroma Park, Illinois, near Kankakee. Lura Lynn loved her small community in Aroma Park; it was the place she called home, and the place where she created many wonderful memories with family and friends. In later years, the town honored her with a street named after her. She received her education in the area schools, and it was during an English class in her freshman year at Kankakee High School that Lura Lynn met the future governor, George H. Ryan. As fate would have it, they fell in love and were married in 1956 in Kankakee. Within a year, the couple welcomed the birth of their fi rst child, daughter Nancy. She was later joined by fi ve younger siblings: Lynda, triplets - Julie, Joanne, Jeanette, and George Jr., who rounded out the Ryan household with six children. Lura Lynn exemplifi ed all that a mother should be - generous, caring and a true friend.
