My good friend’s father recently was honored by the Queen for his lifelong service to architecture, conservation, and to the community in Islington, London†in this year’s honors list.
Sarah Jane Sherlock commented “Needless to say, he is absolutely thrilled. As he says, he didn’t do all the work he did in order to receive a reward, but it is very pleasant to have his efforts recognized.”
I’m also absolutely delighted to see him appreciated for his work. He really has been a force for improving life in the cities: I wish he had done much more for Taipei which desperately needs to improve its living quality.
