Mayfield Jackson, Executive Director, Elizabeth River Project, has received the
Ernie Morgan Award of Service, the highest honor awarded each year by the
Norfolk Environmental Commission. The award was presented at a ceremony and picnic on June 23 at the
Ernie Morgan Environmental Center.
 Marjorie was presented the award by Jim
English, Chairman of the Norfolk Environmental Commission and Norfolk
Mayor Paul Fraim. Master of Ceremonies was Bob Batcher, Host of

ongoing efforts to restore the Elizabeth River."
