Heavenly Father, the times before our nation are frightening, as well as uniting. Our Gracious God, you have birthed into each of us the core values of liberty and justice for all, not just for ourselves as Americans, but for all. These two are joined together as if in a marriage. As a people and a nation we shall not commit adultery against these values. Give us and our leaders the wisdom to know exactly what to do and the courage and strength to do it. Please protect our people and the country You have given to us as we stand true in the commitment of our word.
Amen.

Remarks by Assemblyman Anderson.
Assemblyman Anderson requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker pro Tempore. It is hard to imagine a life that is more full and should be more celebrated than that of Dr. Edmund Cain. When I came to the campus of the University of Nevada as a freshman in 1961-62, the College of Education was stuck in a building called Thompson Education. It was an old building that had been there for some time. When I returned from the Army in 1964 it had not changed. When I left the campus we were in a beautiful new building, having moved forward under Dean Cain’s direction. The nature of my profession has changed dramatically because of his influence. Would-be teachers starting out on the road had not been exposed to the classroom until they were expected to do their student teaching. Now students are encouraged and are brought to classrooms in their second year of education so they can have a hands-on approach and they don’t get stuck believing that teaching is somewhat akin to the learning experience of college. That is a dramatic step. Dean Cain was always up to the challenge of being prepared. My uncle went to college with Dean Cain in Chico. They both were in music together. Arch Hooper and he played in the same band, sharing a continued love for jazz and music. Dean Cain had a love and celebration of life that all of us could only hope for. His legacy is a life of celebration. While the monuments of a building are pleasant to look at and leave a lasting legacy, it is in the hearts of the teachers that he has touched where his legacy will forever live. For that, Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to vote in support of this resolution.
Resolution adopted unanimously.
Mr. Speaker pro Tempore announced if there were no objections, the Assembly would recess subject to the call of the Chair.
