She will be badly missed by League members. Her friendly warmth and sympathy have made members very fond of her, and they have greatly valued the vision and drive she has brought to her work. Mrs Stone started with the League in February 1958, taking over as Secretary-Treasurer from Mrs Mira Szazy, and almost at once she was faced with the task of preparing for the annual conference, primarily her responsibility.
