If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
I have a name that has been given to a conference room on the 11th floor of the Michell Centre in Darwin. That floor and several others at least by the Northern Territory Department of Education.
The conference room has a label on the door saying “The
GRAY Room”. Inside the room and on the wall is a small plaque. It states that I was nominated for the honour of having a room named after me by Sue Murphy who was one of the Directors of Education at the time. It recognises the fact that as the School Principal, I supported students and staff in a way that was appreciated.
From time to time I think about this room and feel glad that I was recognised as a person who was there for students staff and the community.
