[Bell Historians] Ron Johnston RIP

[Anne Willis]

I like the information on the inside back jacket of 'An Atlas of Bell'. [He]
'is a geographer by profession and a bell ringer by vocation.'

That is sad. He was Vice Chancellor at the University of Essex when my
husband was there, and some years ago he and I corresponded on the old
Campanile at Salisbury Cathedral.

 

https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1299646 for a quarter he rang last
year.

 

I see his Wikipedia article makes no mention of his ringing activities.
Perhaps that could be remedied.

I was very sad to learn that Ron Johnston passed away last Friday. May our
thoughts and prayers be with his family, especially his wife Rita.

 

I am sure that there will be a number on this list who would like to
remember him.
