He did his national service in the British Army after WWII, where he honed his education and presentation skills. He later taught art at a Quaker School in Belfast, where he met and married Marion, who was the French teacher. They emigrated to WA in 1982. In Perth. Colin joined Curtin University, where he specialised in distant education, wrote many acclaimed academic papers, became an Associate Professor and developed a global reputation. While at the university, he was asked to establish an open learning college in Barbados, which he did and lived there for a year. After leaving the university he continued his work and was a keynote speaker on the international circuit. Only a month before his death he gave a conference plenary address at Kazan in Russia. Colin kept a close eye on the workings at the City of Nedlands. He frequently attended and spoke at Council Meetings and was a prolific writer to the POST on topical issues. During the amalgamation debate he jointly founded the Nedlands Electors Association, which was influential in the decision not to proceed with Council consolidation in metropolitan Perth. He was Chairman of the Association at the time of his death. Colin made a valuable contribution to the Nedlands community, most recently through his efforts to increase awareness and encourage informed debate on our proposed Local Planning Scheme. Nedlands is the poorer for his passing. Councillor Hassell Councillor Hassell endorsed the Mayors about Colin Latchem. He was a Community Member of the Place Making Strategy committee for the improvement of Dalkeith Village. Colin had a distinguished international career. He was a great community contributor to the City of Nedlands. Councillor Hassell advised that Council kindly granted him leave of absence for the meetings in June and the Committee meeting in July. The travels undertaken were not on Council business and Councillor Hassell was not proposing to indulge in a travelogue however, he not help but observe his surroundings in a number of cities around the Baltic Sea.
