John Porter:

Bernard Newman was a visionary commentator on climbing and its characters. I remember in 1972 Bernard commenting on the white-cotton-costumed John Syrett performing on the Leeds climbing wall saying: "Here is a star that will be the future." I was privileged to share some of the happiest days of my life with Bernard; from editing the Leeds UNCC Journal in 1973 and to many days on the hills with Bernard and [his wife] Janine. He is a muse I will miss in life but take with me forever. [2]
