162 OBITUARIES EDWIN ROBERT MANN (1964) was born in London on 8 April 1921. He came to King’s as a mature student and read English. He later obtained a Diploma in Education and worked as a teacher. Sadly the College knows nothing more of his life. He died in Sudbury in 1994. CHRISTOPHER NOEL MARSHALL (1964), brother of A B M (1967) and N R M (1971), died in the early morning on 10 February 2006 doing what he loved the most, piloting a hot-air balloon, in Kenya. It was shortly after takeoff that the balloon carrying Chris and 12 tourists crashed, probably because of a burner failure or due to a freak wind. He was an experienced pilot, with more than 370 hours of flying time in balloons, and was occasionally employed by a balloon safari company which gave him an opportunity to indulge in his passion for flying balloons and at the same time to promote the sustainable tourism that he as a member of the Ecotourism Society of Kenya was eager to implement. Chris was born in Inverness on 25 December 1945 and attended King’s School in Canterbury. He came to King’s in 1964 to read Economics. After graduation Chris worked in various institutions as an economist, among them the government of Kenya. In 1977 Chris returned to study for an MSc in Natural Resource Management at Cranfield University, where he contributed to student life by taking part in the StuntedWits Society and the Christmas and Easter Shows. Soon after graduating he returned to Kenya where he remained, working as an executive producer for an audio-visual production company.As well as flying hot-air balloons, he also worked with rural development issues and sustainable tourism. Chris represented Kenya in theWorld Hot Air Balloon Championships for the first time in 1993 when it was held in Larochette, Luxembourg, and was to continue representing the nation in subsequent international competitions. Over 100 friends and relatives came to celebrate Chris’ memory at a ChampagneWake and Barbecue on 25 June 2006. He had planned to celebrate his 60th birthday on that date, but the occasion became one in which his wide circle of friends gathered to remember a kind and forthright man whose life had been cut short while living his dream.
WOLFE MAYS (1940) was an eminent philosopher with a long and distinguished career spanning almost six decades. By the end of his life, he was probably the last philosopher alive to have known both Collingwood and Wittgenstein. His younger colleagues found him to be an apparently inexhaustible source of philosophical lore; there seemed to be no one of note that Wolfe had not known, taught or been taught by, or disagreed with. Wolfe came to King’s as a graduate student, where he wrote his PhD thesis on the philosophy of A N Whitehead. Once this was completed in 1944, he moved for a year to the University of Edinburgh where he was Assistant Lecturer in Logic and Metaphysics, and then moved to take up a post in the Philosophy Department at the University of Manchester, where he was to remain until his retirement in 1979. Wolfe despised Oxford-style analytical philosophy, being more of a Continentalist and a historian of science. He was particularly fascinated with the whole question of thinking and learning, exploring how we move from a state of not knowing to a state of understanding. His contact with Alan Turing helped to develop his interest in models of human mental functions, and this led him to work with the team Jean Piaget had established in Geneva studying the acquisition of logical and mathematical concepts by young children; many important publications came out of this fruitful partnership. Perhaps because of his repeated visits to the Continent to work with Piaget, Wolfe became interested in phenomenology and existentialism, an interest that influenced his lecturing. In 1970, he founded the British Society for Phenomenology, and was a very active editor of its journal until the time of his death on 21 January 2005. Wolfe loved university life and took part in all aspects of it with great energy. He was an active member of the AUT and served on the National Executive and as President of the Manchester University branch. He unfailingly attended departmental research seminars and could always find something to say after the delivery of a paper, saving his colleagues sometimes from potentially embarrassing silences. He liked teaching and was skilful at adapting his style 163 OBITUARIES
