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??

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!

Thanks - Any info about first name, whether she’s still with us, other contact details (by PM to me) would be great….

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.

Miss Hayward was matron in Maine when I left in 1953 {if that helps}. See house photo Maine B 1952
