Mr. President. rarely do I have the opportunity to share with my colleagues the story of anyone as remarkable as the New Hampshire General Courts venerable Republican legislator. Mrs. Hilda Brungot of Berlin. N.H. Few legislators have contributed as much to our State. Few could exemplify as well the real meaning of the term "public servant." The daughter of a Norwegian immigrant who himself served our State as a distinguished representative. Mrs. Brungot began her life in public service at 40 as a delegate to the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention in 1930. That very same year she succeeded her father as a representative in the New Hampshire Legislature. beginning a record of service spanning 18 2year terms. perhaps the longest legislative record of any woman in U.S. history.
