@AlanTuckett @John__Field John was the first Professor of Lifelong Learning and he will always be the Learning Professor. His influence will always be felt whereever there remains a passion for learning.

[Chris Minter @ChrisMinter8]

@AlanTuckett @John__Field Sad and sobering news for everyone who cares about #lifelonglearning. John was always posting news and he was at the heart of so many conferences and so much that we learned in the 1990s/2000s. It was one of his lectures that first got me interested in adult ed.

A sad and significant loss for the classical music world, as the death of Maurizio Pollini is announced today. In 2017, @SaraMohrPietsch travelled to Milan to interview the great pianist. His family are in our thoughts. https://t.co/EVT1dQFmYr

@AlanTuckett He will be missed but not forgotten. I was able to find my copy of 'Learning to grow older & bolder' from 1999. The recommendations still matter today and there were 62 of them!

[Chris Minter @ChrisMinter8]

@AlanTuckett Really sorry to hear the sad news. Jim was a great networker and campaigner who led so much excellent work at NIACE. I have lots of great memories of him with Older and Bolder and the 4th Age and Days Out Days In.
