THE GLEANER Company yesterday paid tribute to renowned ceramist Cecil Archibald Baugh by presenting him with the Honour Award for Excellence in Arts and Culture at his home in Vineyard Town, St. Andrew.

A delegation, headed by Governor-General Sir Howard Cooke, and also comprising Managing Director Oliver Clarke, Editor-in-Chief Garfield Grandison and Karin Cooper, head of corporate affairs, presented the award to Mr. Baugh.

Yesterday's honour delighted the 95-year-old ceramist, who has been recognised internationally and has served as a mentor.

He was commended by Sir Howard for his work, and he in turn heartily thanked the Governor-General and The Gleaner for recognising him.
