Father of the Year
Last night my dad, Dr. Joe Prendergast, was honored by the American Diabetes Association and the Father's Day Council of Silicon Valley as the Father of the Year for 2008. It was a beautiful and touching event.
Dad, I love you very much and I thank you for raising me and Pat to be strong, independent, community minded adults. I appreciate that you provided me the opportunity to start my career, helped me to develop the skills to be successful and stood in support when it was time to expand my horizons and start my own business.
It occurs to me that this type of nurturing, support and education is exactly what you bring to your patients and community, in effect being a father and mentor to us all. Congratulations on your honor. You deserve it!

Can't think of a more appropriate person to 'own' this award. You're the best M.D. in your field out there; and presumably, father as well..for at least a year. :) CONGRATS
