[Magdalen] Vanity plates

[Marion Thompson]

For many years my licence plate has been 1ST ADJ.  In 1986 I was the 
first female adjutant in 125 years of a Canadian Rifle Team to Bisley, 
England.  Others followed, but I was the first.  My father was 
Commandant of the 1950 team and in 1956 was Captain of the Cadet team.  
I competed many times at Bisley as an individual from 1972, but sadly, 
my father wasn't able to register the Adjutant news because of 
Altzheimer's.  He would have been very proud.
