This is a nice shot of the 1990 Illinois LRE training team, probably at a Chicago hotel. Later, the Constitutional Rights Foundation—Chicago run program would be held at the Hilton Hotel attached to Hamburger University, the McDonald site that came to be used for its trainings. Mugging for the camera in the middle of the picture is a young David Keller Trevaskis with Street Law author Lee Arbetman kneeling in front of him. Legendary law-related educator Isidore Starr is immediately to Arbetman’s left getting a hug from Carolyn Pereira, then Executive Director of CRFC. CRFC was part of a national network of law-related education programs that flourished with significant federal funding during the last quarter of the past century. LEAP was the Pennsylvania hub for that network during that time period. Former LEAP cooperating teacher and member of the LEAP Pennsylvania Statewide Training team, Dr. Steve Klein, is in th far left corner. He moved to Illinois and added a second chapter to his civics resume working first with CRFC and then at the U-46 Urbana School District.
