We wish to express our condolences to the family and colleagues of John Roles, Director of Leeds Museums. John was recently awarded honorary life membership of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society (LPLS) in recognition of his major contributions to the public life of the city together with the wider understanding and enjoyment of the sciences and arts in Leeds. We are very grateful for all his admirable hard work and enthusiasm in building a successful and ongoing relationship between LPLS and the city's museums.
