Miss Grizel M. S. Paterson d. 1984
Grizel Paterson died on 25 July 1984 just four months after her 80th birthday. She joined the LAC after war service as a WAAF Officer in Egypt and was secretary at the time of the merger with the AC. Most of her climbing was in her native Scotland but she had several seasons in the Alps and climbing and walking holidays further afield in the Atlas Mountains, Kulu, Pyrenees, Colorado Rockies and Julian Alps in Yugoslavia. She was kind and generous and not only to her friends: at the time of her death she had been sponsoring the education of a Korean boy for many years. Her love of literature and poetry and her ability to recite the appropriate verse on the mountainside made her an enjoyable companion. These interests and her experience as a teacher and sometime theatrical producer made her popular as a witty and humorous after dinner speaker. I always connect Grizel with laughter. She was a distinguished member of the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club which she joined in 1927 and was its President 1946 -1949. She was also an active member of the London Section of the Fell and Rock Climbing Club.
