TRIBUTE TO PEGI MORTON YOUNG
______
HON. ANNA G. ESHOO
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, March 3, 1995
Mrs. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Pegi Morton Young and her upcoming induction into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
After giving birth to a son with severe cerebral palsy in 1986, Pegi Morton Young cofounded the Bridge School, which is an innovative educational program for children with severe speech and physical impairments. She served as the unpaid director of the school for 6 years and remains active as president of the board of directors. Under Ms. Young's exceptional leadership, the Bridge School has been certified by the California State Department of Education as a non-
public school and received community-wide praise for its outstanding program. Her commitment to the community is never-ending, and she is always the first to volunteer for a project.
Mr. Speaker, Pegi Morton Young is an outstanding citizen, and I commend her for her remarkable commitment and contributions to our community. I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting her as she is being inducted into the San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
