To Professor Oliver Headley
Barbados has lost one of its most
creative minds. Professor
Oliver Headley, CHB, who delivered the Twenty-Second Sir Winston
Scott Memorial Lecture on the topic "The Sun Will Still
Shine When the Oil Runs Out" in November 1997, combined
both scholarship and innovation.
He displayed throughout his entire career the qualities
which the region needs in order to move to the cutting edge of
scientific enquiry. In
addition, his research was of a quality that could be
commercialized into marketable products.
Professor Headley's work placed Barbados among the front
runners in the area of the conceptualization and design of
important innovations. He
has also made significant contributions to Barbados' ability to
boost its economic development through proper management of its
natural resources.
As
a friend and colleague, I consider his passing a significant
loss to Barbados, the region and to the field of scientific
innovation.
Dr.
Marion V. Williams
Governor
Central Bank of Barbados.
