Subject
Tesla Medal Thank you

Dear Mr Grbovic,

My name is Mark Delaney and I am the recipient of the Tesla Medal for 2005 at Murdoch University. I know this reply is a little while in coming (I received the award by post in May), so please excuse my tardiness as I am a bit absent minded at times. Tesla is one of my heroes and I believe that he should be held up in the same esteem as Newton and Einstein. It is a shame that so little is known of him in the wider community as he basically enabled the 20th century to happen (as you are well aware).

It is great to hear that their are Tesla Forums around the world like the Western Australian division and I wish that I knew about it while I was studying at Murdoch. I am now living in Queensland and so I cannot attend any meetings of the West Australian division to thank you personally.

However, please be aware that I consider this award to be the most prestigious award I have received from my efforts at Murdoch. I have it hanging at the entrance to my study and am very happy to have received it.

If you could please pass this message onto your fellow Tesla Forum members, I would be most grateful.

Best regards in your future endeavours and lets both hope that Tesla finally receives the recognition that he so rightfully deserves.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Delaney
