I would greatly appreciate if you could see that my e-mail gets to Melinda Gates. Thanks, Tony Dear Melinda: lam so sorry that I did not get a chance to personally congratulate you on receiving the Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award at the Lasker Lunch. I was able to get to Bill and congratulate him and chat a bit; however, the crowd around the dias was so dense, I could not negotiate my way to you before the ceremony. Since I had to catch a 3:00 PM Amtrak back to Washington, D.C., I left immediately after the end of the ceremony. And so now I want to take the opportunity to sincerely congratulate you on a much, much deserved honor. I remember when I received the Lasker Public Service Award in 2007 (before they named it after Mayor Bloomberg), I thought at the time that this award must someday soon go to Bill and Melinda. They made a terrific choice. Keep up your magnificent work. Warm regards, Tony Anthony S.
