Hello, (I apologize for the late reply but I was offline for a week looking after a health/family matter)
Thank you everyone for the kinds words. This award is a complete surprise, and reading your messages made me realize once again the privilege I had for all these 12 years. Working in a Smalltalk-inspired world is indeed inspiring. But, what makes it a privilege is working with all of you. And, I am not saying it just for the sake of it.
