The Heinz Awards have recognized Dr. Bill Thomas and Elma Holder.  

PITTSBURGH, September 25, 2006 - In recognition of groundbreaking achievements within a broad span of human endeavor - life's work that has had a transforming impact on how we regard, steward and propel the world around us - the Heinz Family Foundation today announced the recipients of the 12th Annual Heinz Awards, among the largest individual achievement prizes in the world.

Five honorees - photographer, chemist, physician, attorney and biologist - each will receive $250,000 prizes, awarded in five distinct categories - all areas of particular interest to John Heinz, the late U.S. Senator for whom the awards are named. A legendary, though largely unheralded, nursing home reformer is also being honored with the foundation's Chairman's Medal, which is awarded periodically to acknowledge a lifetime of especially notable achievement.

Wow, what an honor for Bill and Elma (4.00 / 1)

I'm so pleased for you both and feel privileged to know you.  My admiration for the work that both of you have been doing is without bound.  I'm so pleased that you have each received a very, very, very well-deserved Heinz award.  You both have shown the courage, grit, determination, and vision to make our dreams come true and change the world!  Blessings, Karen Schoeneman - a fan!
