Dear Tony:
Happy 30th Anniversary! Thank you for a wonderful 30 years. I have had a little time to reflect
and so wanted to share some thoughts with you.
In my view, these have been 30 great years. Thirty years seems like a long time, and yet I cannot
imagine life without you. It has actually gone by pretty quickly. We love each other and work
and play together- all of which I hope will continue for many years to come. We have three
incredible kids, a comfortable and enjoyable life, and good health. We can talk to each other
about the mundane, the philosophical, the political, and the speculative. We laugh and cry
together. We run and cook and even (lately) play tennis together.
I am only one of many many who have great admiration and respect for all that you have done
and continue to do. You have done remarkable things at work and made amazing contributions
to science and to your country. I hope that my support and encouragement have been helpful
to you and that I have not interfered with your many successes.
My hope is that over these following years we will find time to enjoy life as much as possible.
There is so much to learn and do and see. It would be fun to do it together.
Thank you for being my lover, my friend, my advisor, my companion, my critic. Thank you for
putting up with the bags under my eyes and the weight of the world on my shoulders. Thank
you for being a great father and husband.
I look forward to celebrating our anniversary together.
I love you.
Christine

is back today and yesterday for his follow-up visit. I
flew back from DDCF meeting early to catch him before he left hospital. He came to
my office with Rick Davey to say hello. He looks great. Feels good except for some
easy fatiguing. His brain MRI shows some improvement. The CT on semen is now up
to 27-29 from 18 previously. Hence, virus clearing from semen. Still on eye drops for
Ebola uveitis. Tears negative.
When he visited in my office in Building 31, we hugged and had a great conversation.
He gave me a letter that was very moving. Letter below:
