In the GA's manifesto for Geography "a different view" (which I shall talk about more when we get into the 2000s, there is a series of quotes.One of them was from Professor Ron Johnston, who I heard today has sadly died.
He has a long and influential career and taught in a number of universities including the UK and New Zealand.He was President of the Lincoln branch of the Geographical Association, 1978-83.
He wrote the obituary for former GA President Stan Gregory.
He won the AAG Lifetime Achievement Award.
He also co-wrote a piece for the Independent about another former GA President Michael Wise.
