Jon Morgan Searle

Jon Morgan Searle (22 June 1930 - 13 March 2012) was a Gibraltarian journalist and editor of the Gibraltar Chronicle.

He graduated in fine arts at McGill University in Quebec, before returning to the United Kingdom, where he served in the Royal Army Educational Corps.

[1] During his military service, he was posted to Gibraltar for the first time, where he taught art and met his future wife, Lina.

The couple returned to England, where Lina studied physiotherapy in Manchester and Jon graduated in social psychology at Liverpool University and where he was instrumental in setting up the first Boys' Club in the dockland area, for delinquents.

After he died all three press associations held a memorial meeting in his honour, and at which one of Jon's best loved pieces, made using three different clays joined, was presented to the journalists by his children.
