I’ve been contacted by a non-forum user, whose tech abilities mean they can’t post themselves easily - they’re looking for info about a “Miss Gracie who was a matron in Maine in the 1960”.
Anyone know any info about her??

Re: Miss Gracie, Matron in Maine in the 1960s?
Julian,
Miss Gracie came to Maine as Matron in 1966. She was a quietly spoken, pleasant lady as I recall with a slight accent, possibly Scottish but I am not sure as my accent identifying skills were not great at that time. I know nothing more about her personal background. There is a photo of her, within a Maine A house photo, from 1969 on page 2 of the Maine photos thread. Howard H if he reads this may be able to add more perhaps.

All I can add, Andy, is that she stayed in Maine for c 20 years. Others might have a clearer idea.
I recall her as being firm and kind. All those bl**dy socks to fold!

She moved on to Coleridge in the late 70s, and was still there in 1982.

I am pretty sure there is another thread somewhere that refers to her. Miss Gracie was a very nice women and I remember her well from my time in Coleridge A from 76 to 80. I cannot recall her Christian name; not something I would ever have had cause to use!

Does anyone know the name of the matron who preceded her in Maine?
I have a photo of her her sitting next to 'Doggy' Barker in probably 1962. For some reason my Mac will not let me post it here. ``when I click on the image icon it just says in the text.

I believe her name was Miss Worswick. She was Matron for my "Squits" year and then Miss Gracie took over in 1966.Mr Alexander wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 3:27 am Does anyone know the name of the matron who preceded her in Maine?
