DEDICATION


SENATOR C. WILLIAM HAINES

The Commissioners of the New Jersey General Aviation Study Commission 
dedicate their work herein to the memory of Senator C. William Haines, one 
of our fellow Commissioners, who succumbed to cancer during his term on 
this Commission. Faced with what would be his last legislative effort, 
Senator Haines continued to attend meetings and perform his functions on 
this Commission without interruption. Descended, as he was, from Quakers 
who settled in Burlington County in 1684, Senator Haines, like his 
ancestors, lived his life as a hard working farmer and a dedicated public 
servant. He was a war hero and a pilot who served as Chairman of the 
Transportation Committee for most of his 15 years in the Senate. During 
the last year of his life, he stated that he must continue his work on 
this Commission because the general aviation airport system in New Jersey, 
too long neglected, promised to be the improvement to our State's 
transportation system most important to the economic health of our State 
throughout the next century. It is with great respect for the Senator, and 
profound gratitude for the privilege of having served with him, that we 
dedicate this report.
