Part 2 (Obituaries) - King's College - University of Cambridge

Paul’s dedication to his project, self-evident in any of his own articles, is
further underlined by the boggling fact that in his last year, the couple
turned down a seven-figure bid for the magazine, feeling that there was
much left to achieve with it themselves.
Paul lived to see the magazine increase its circulation tenfold, picking up
numerous awards and accolades along its path. The award that best reflects
Paul’s enthusiasms was not one he won, but the award that Lyn Hughes (whom
he married shortly before his death) has set up in his name. It rewards travel
guides, which to Paul were the “unsung heroes of the travel industry”.The Paul
Morrison Guide Award is given out each year in his name, with nominations
accepted from members of the public via the Wanderlust website.
Wanderlust was not Paul’s only success story. World music, another of his great
hobbies, was indulged in the successful revival of the magazine Songlines,
which he relaunched in 2002 after it had been dropped by its original
publisher. It is not just his publishing achievements, however, but his integrity
and good humour for which Paul will be remembered.
COLIN CHARLES NEWBERRY (1965), who was born on 16 September
1946 in East London, read Natural Sciences at King’s. However he always had
an enthusiasm for music and became a music teacher, working in various
grammar and comprehensive schools in Kent and Essex. He was ultimately
Head of Music at Hextable School in Kent, and is remembered as being a “very
enthusiastic teacher”. Colin was also involved in musical activities outside the
classroom and seemed to enjoy these more. He was the Musical Director of
Wilmington Stage Band. Eventually he became a freelance musician and
teacher; he was a very competent pianist.
In 1976 Colin married Linda White and they had two children, Russell and
Lisa, although the couple later separated. Colin died in a swimming accident
while on holiday in Mallorca in August 2000.
