                        Thursday, April 22, 2004

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my long-time 
friend, Anna B. ``Peg'' Jacobi, a resident of the Borough of Tuckerton 
for more than a half century.
  Peg served as Tuckerton's Mayor from 1994 to 1998, after retiring 
from 36 years of public service. She served as Tuckerton Borough 
registrar, and secretary for the Board of Health, tax collector, 
treasurer and executive director of the Tuckerton Municipal Utilities 
Authority. She was also a member of the Pinelands Regional Board of 
Education for a decade.
  A charter member of both the Tuckerton Historical Society and the 
Tuckerton Seaport, Peg was the first president of the New Jersey 
Association of Rural Water and Watershed Utilities, and is currently 
president of Rural Water. She is also the current chairman of the Ocean 
County Utilities Authority, the Ocean County Board of Social Services, 
the Board of the Southern Ocean County Hospital Foundation, and finance 
chair of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit and Ocean County Girl 
Scout Council, where she originated the community Christmas Tree on 
Lake Pohatcong.
  Married for 48 years to the late Egbert M. ``Jake'' Jacobi, Peg is 
the mother of four, grandmother of two, and great-grandmother of two 
fine boys.
  It has been a pleasure and a privilege working with Peg Jacobi 
through the years, and I am proud to recognize her for her many, many 
contributions to her community, county and State. I am proud, too, to 
call her my friend.
