What brilliance, dedication, and staying power you have displayed over all these years! And what a lifetime of achievement!  Seeing you at this year’s CEI dinner underscored what an extraordinary career you have had. Congratulations on an award that affirms how rare your decades of accomplishment are. It has truly been an honor to know you and my other true hero of science and humanity: Norman Borlaug.  My best regards – and looking forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.
