Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Please, join me in congratulating the inestimable, indefatigable Dr. Toyin Falola on receiving yet another prestigious honor. Professor Falola has been notified by Dr. William Head, the Chair of the Curry Award Committee, that his wonderful book, "Ibadan: Foundation, Growth and Change (Ibadan, Nigeria) has been selected to share the Cecil Curry ATWS Book Award for 2013. This is a great honor indeed!
Professor Falola was notified by the selection committee that "the competition was very intense and the selection process was not easy. However, [his] entry was deemed to be of highest quality." The Award will be presented to Professor Falola at the ATWS Annual Conference to be held in December of 2013 in Chennai, India.
Congratulations, Professor Falola once again for a job well done! Pretty soon, you will need to build additional rooms on your home to have enough space for your many awards, honorary doctorates, and other forms of recognition. May God continue to pour his blessings upon you and your family.
With my very best regards,
Bessie House-Soremekun
