William R. Snell received the award for his efforts in promoting the history of the Bradley County area and his teaching at Lee University. Kent Whitworth, director of the historical society announced, "We are pleased to present our annual Teaching Excellence Award to William Snell for his work as an inspiring teacher who has imparted a love of history to his students at Lee University and to the community at large. In addition to his work as an exemplary teacher, Professor Snell also serves as the official historian for Bradley County and for the city of Cleveland. His weekly newspaper column brings the region's history to life for readers of the Cleveland Daily Banner, proving that the best teachers do not limit their work to the classroom. His efforts remind us the value of our past and the need to preserve our collective memory." The ETHS Awards of Excellence were created in 1984 to recognize superior achievements in the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of East Tennessee's history. The ceremonies, held Tuesday, May 16, at the Riverfront Tavern, in Knoxville, marked the 17th annual presentation of the awards.
