Dorothy Lee.
Just as we were about to go to press came news of the sudden death of Dorothy Lee, after a short illness. Elected to the LAC in 1948, Dorothy became Treasurer the year after and, following amalgamation with the AC, was elected onto the Committee in 1979, serving on the House Committee and as Assistant Honorary Secretary responsible for the Annual Winter Dinner. Others who knew her well will be able to write in detail for the next Journal, but I am grateful to Dorothy for the help she always gave me in anything connected with former LAC members.

Miss Dorothy I. Lee d.1983
Dorothy Lee, a member of the Ladies' Alpine Club from 1948 until the merger with the Alpine Club and thereafter of the latter Club, died on 15January 1983. She was treasurer of the LAC until the merger and then served on the AC committee. In addition she worked very hard at the arrangements for the LAC dinners and after the merger, those of the AC and the smooth running of these occasions was very largely the result of her hard and patient work. Her mountaineering experience included visits to Turkey, South Africa, Iceland, Zimbabwe and Canada as well as several climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees, Scotland and the Lake District. Her working life was spent in the service of the then National Provincial Bank where she became Lady Superintendent until her retirement.
Dorothy was a very kind and considerate,person with a great sense of humour and thus a very good companion to have on mountain expeditions. Seldom have I seen her rumed and I have been with her on many holidays, mostly in the mountains. She never failed to make new members welcome at Club meetings and to see that they got to know people.
She was a member of the Pinnacle Club and of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club and served on both of their committees. She was also a keen gardener and flower arranger.
She will be greatly missed by her many friends.
