Scarborough's Geraldine Hodgkin, 99, Awarded the Boston Post Cane

Longtime Scarborough resident Geraldine Hodgkin is the newest recipient of our town's Boston Post cane. The holder of the Cane must be 90 years old or older and have resided in Scarborough for a minimum of the past 20 years. Geraldine is 99 years old and has lived in Scarborough since 1941. She's been in her current home since 1953, where she raised six kids. In her recognition ceremony last week, she reflected fondly on the days when Town Hall was a two-room white clapboard building. "It's a wonderful town," she said, specifically expressing gratitude for Police, Fire, and the Town Clerk.

The Boston Post cane tradition was established in 1909 by The Boston Post newspaper. A special cane was presented to the Board of Selectmen in 431 towns in New England, to be presented as an honor to each town’s oldest resident. Scarborough still holds the original cane and presents the recipient with a plaque and lapel pin, donated by the Scarborough Lions Club.
