Obituary

Professor John Beavis – 1928-2008 The Tourism Society was saddened to learn that one of its founding fellows, John Beavis FTS, recently passed away. John joined the Society shortly after its conception on 24th May 1978. John was born in Bristol in July 1928, and showed an aptitude for the academic life from an early age. In 1963, John joined the Department of Hotel and Catering Management at Battersea College of Technology as a lecturer in accounting and hotel reception. In 1966 Battersea received its charter and became the University of Surrey. John was also co-author of the book 'A Manual of Hotel Reception' which he wrote with his friend and colleague, the late Professor Rik Medlik. It was published in 1967. In 1972, John was offered the post of Director of the Scottish Hotel School at Strathclyde. In 1974, John's work in hotel and catering education was recognised by the professional body of the industry, when he was elected President of the then HCIMA (now the

From the Chairman’s Desk I’m delighted to introduce the latest feature of your journal; each themed issue will now have a specialist guest editor from the Society. The journal is going from strength to strength and we welcome your input, ideas and contributions. For future themes please see the website (www.tourismsociety.org). I would like to thank all of the contributors to this issue and in particular distinguished author and journalist Verité Reily Collins FTS for her time as guest editor. Verite is working on a tourism dictionary endorsed by the Tourism Society which will be published in the Autumn. Alison Cryer FTS Chairman The Tourism Society

Institute of Hospitality). John was the first academic to be elected to this post in preference to a member of the industry. After Strathclyde, John and Anne returned to Surrey, living in Farnham. He then accepted a position with the American International College at Bushey, Hertfordshire, as head of the Hotel and Catering Department. He remained at the College until his well earned retirement in the early 1990s. John was a gentleman, loved and respected by all who knew him. He was always on hand to help undergraduates in his charge and provided counselling when they had problems. He had a cheerful disposition and could always be trusted by anyone who confided in him, he enjoyed a joke and it is said he never lost his temper. I know, I speak for you all when I say "he will be greatly missed." Michael Walton
