Ros Korkatzis
1944 – 2011
One of our longest serving Executive Members, Ros Korkatzis, passed away on Monday 16th May after a short illness. Ros was undoubtedly one of the most hard working and enthusiastic members of QHTA and her humour, professionalism and dedication to history will be sorely missed.
