Identifier

Description

A large group of wellwishers with Professor Elizabeth (Nellie) Lee at a party in her honour.
Frank Imbusch records that 'For a number of years Mrs Mary O'Driscoll was the staff person appointed to work with the student members of the College's Camogie Club. On her retirement, Professor Elizabeth (Nellie) Lee took over this responsibility, a task that she undertook with dedication and concern for the students. She was hugely popular with the Club members. When she retired the members of the Camogie Club - past and present - organized a celebration to mark her many years of commitment and hard work. The event, held in the Spinnaker restaurant, was well attended by students and members of the University staff. Mary and I turned up, along with a camera.'
