Don was a genuine visionary and superb strategic leader who was responsible for enabling many of the key advances in both bio-informatics and public access to biomedical and health information as we know them today. The announcement from the National Library of Medicine is here https://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/Lindberg_Passing.html He was also a great friend to and supporter of CNI. In 2014 it was my privilege to be able to present Dr. Lindberg with the Paul Evan Peters award at our Spring meeting.
