                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                    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.
