Goodbye Thanks
Sue Smith joined our conservation department in Sept 1987 and made it her own over 22 years and 158 Lists (about 31,000 pieces of paper). Having retired once in December 2009 and returned part-time to cope with the workload and advise Elias Kelson as he took over her department, she leaves for good at the end of March.
A more talented, sensible and feisty conservator of works on paper it would be hard to imagine. Thank you Sue.
