          HONORING DR. JARRELL JACKMAN FOR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LOIS CAPPS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2006

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Dr. Jarrell 
Jackman for his dynamic and committed leadership of the Santa Barbara 
Trust for Historic Preservation.
  Dr. Jarrell Jackman has been a leader of the Trust for Historic 
Preservation for 25 years, serving first as Historic Projects 
Administrator and, since 1987, as Executive Director. In a unique 
partnership with the State of California Department of Parks and 
Recreation, the Trust operates El Presidio de Santa Barbara State 
Historic Park that attracts 50,000 visitors annually from Santa Barbara 
and from around the world.
  Under Dr. Jackman's leadership, the Trust bought and maintains for 
future generations the Mission Santa Inez Mills, significant remains of 
mission-period grist and fulling mills. In addition to acquiring and 
maintaining historic sites, the Trust preserves the diverse cultural 
heritage of Santa Barbara through its research, interpretation, 
educational programs, archeological work, historic restoration and 
preservation efforts. They work cooperatively with local jurisdictions 
and with dozens of state agencies, museums, private foundations, 
schools, and businesses to ensure that the rich cultural history of the 
central coast not only lives on for future generations but is 
accessible today.
  The Trust has completed major construction projects for El Presidio 
de Santa Barbara State Historic Park: the Chapel, the Comandancia, the 
Northeast Corner and (the soon to be completed) Northwest Corner, 
making El Presidio the most fully restored Presidio in the United 
States. The restored Casa de la Guerra and El Presidio have become 
significant museums, hosting many lectures, performances, visiting 
exhibits and celebrations, due in large part to the dedication and 
expertise of Dr. Jackman.
  Dr. Jackman served honorably on the Santa Barbara County Historic 
Landmarks Advisory Commission and has consistently been a forceful 
voice for the preservation of county historic structures. Among his 
many honors are the prestigious Norman Neuerburg Award from the 
California Mission Studies Association in February 2001 and the 2006 
California League of Park Associations' Dewitt Award for outstanding 
partnership.
  I have seen firsthand many of the great programs and preservation 
efforts of the Trust. We, as a community, benefit greatly from the 
skill and leadership of Dr. Jackman. I am pleased to commend Dr. 
Jarrell Jackman for his dedicated service to the Trust for Historic 
Preservation and to the preservation of many of the Central Coast's 
treasures. I look forward to the Trust's continued success. 
Congratulations on 25 great years!
