[Magdalen] today's license plate

[Marion Thompson]

Jim’s was PALMA, commemorating being Captain of the winning Canadians in 1984.  The Palma Match is The big international target rilfle team match, held every four years generally with Australia, Neew Zealand, Canada, Great Britain, and the USA taking part.  A junior Palma is held alongside, with smaller teams from Kenya, The West Indies, etc.  it’s a big deal.

Mine is still  1STADJ.  In 1986  I was the ffirst female adjutant in 104 years of a Canadian Rifle Team to Bisley, England.  There’s a space between T and A, but the computer insists on making it 1st if I put it in.

Another life, long ago.

Nothing exciting, just JOY GLC. But after 36 years with it, I can’t go anywhere anonymously!
