Di Wordsworth, Staff’67

Mrs D. L. Wordsworth, 1967

Those members of the Falcon community who knew Mrs. Di Wordsworth will be sorry to learn of her death in May, 1967, after a short illness. She had been Housekeeping Matron since 1961, and during that time had endeared herself to all who knew her by her unfailing good humour and cheerfulness. Visitors to the School will remember her presiding over the tea-cups at every match and public occasion, and she was always first to assist with plays, dances, Society meetings and every kind of function. Her wit, dignity and sense of humour are sadly missed, and we would extend to the members of her family our sincere condolences at her passing.

Had two weeks hols after Falcon, then joined the BSAP for a 2-year contract; did Police Display, horse escorts & a posting to Inyanga (hardship huh!), then bought myself out in June '81. Moved to UK a month later, did a course in advertising and marketing, then got a job with a small ad agency in Wimbledon before moving to my current job with Grass Roots Group, where I design processes for motivation websites. Home life = wife Nicola + 4 daughters & 2 sons; also help out at my local lifeboat station, and am keen on photography (www.flickr.com/photos/bushtick), singing with a chamber choir and a bit on the side for the Falcon Old Boys.
