The Neerja Bhanot Pan Am Trust Award Chandigarh, India Sept. 6, 2019

It was a huge honor  to preside over the 2019 Neerja Bhanot Pan Am Trust Award. It was beyond special to stay with Aneesh and Shanti Bhanot, they are family to me. I  loved every minute of my week in India with them,  Ahkil and Mamta and family, and all the wonderful people I met in Chandigarh. I could feel Neerja's presence.  Her good deeds will never be forgotten, and she serves as a role model for millions.  Sifiya Haneef, the honoree, is well deserving of this award, and I was honored to get to know her and give her this award. It was a week to remember and one of the most meaningful of my life.
