Dr. John Williams, CEO & President of SUNY Downstate Hospital, a doctor, not only of medicine, but of humor as well. For this event, his philosophy was laughter is the best medicine. Lawrence Reynolds, General Manager of TD Bank, helped further that philosophy with joy and laughter, gaining momentum with a captive audience. Our other great honorees were Majority Leader of the New York State Senate, Dean Skelos and Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sheldon Silver. Both Senators have worked feverishly for, with and by our New York State citizens. And last, but certainly not least, our New York Yankees, and we know that the upcoming year of 2014 will prove to be a banner year for this great home team. Our Honoree, FDNY Captain Kevin Andersen, received a Merit of Achievement Award from the Foundation. He is a proven certified angel. To know this humanitarian is to love him.
