Elisabeth Curtis (1921-1981)
We had a dream and Li shared it with us, guided us through the early stages with wisdom and understanding, restrained us from taking on more than we could cope with, but never dampened our enthusiasm. She died before the dream became reality and so this Centre has been named after her as a living memorial to someone whose standards were of the highest and whose commitment was unquestioned. Li Curtis was committed not only to RDA but also to her family, friends and community; she was a very special person and we are the richer for having known her.
