She joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and completed her basic training at St. Jean, Quebec before being posted in 1958 to Trenton Administration Unit as a secretary cleared to handle Top Secret files. After about a year, she was posted to the Winnipeg Personnel Unit, handling transfers of personnel, especially to the NWT, a popular spot for sending some poor airmen. After that, she was flown to Metz, France via the “North Star” aircraft which required hockey puck type of ear mufflers (there was little or no insulation). As Secretary to the Air Officer Commanding, her duties were unchallenging so she transferred to Zweibrucken, Germany where she worked as Secretary to the C.O. She typed reports of accidents involving the training aircraft due to equipment failure or pilot error, where some pilots neglected to deploy their landing wheels. In 1960, she returned to civilian life where she was Administrative Secretary to various companies. Marion has been a member of Cobourg Legion Branch 133 for sixteen years. MCINTYRE, Steven J.
