Rachel Trickett
Edit ProfileCareer
After she had retired as Principal of Street Hugh"s College, Rachel Trickett continued to share rooms with literature don Michael Gearin-Tosh. In 1994, five years before her eventual death, her friend was diagnosed with a severe cancer of the bone, myeloma. She gave him her active support in finding the most suitable form of treatment.
This became the dominant activity of her retirement as she agonised with him over the options and debated with Gearin-Tosh and his friends about the most suitable course of action.
In the event, Michael Gearin-Tosh"s choice of therapy was based on a rejection of conventional therapies and a reliance on acupuncture, meditation and dietary control. The Rachel Trickett Building at Saint Hugh"s College is named after her.
