Margarette Obee grew up outside London. In school she was a decent, if lazy student, whose original poem once garnered accusations of plagiarism when her teacher didn’t believe a student could write that well.
Her parents told her to stay in Canada; it was safer and she was sent to boarding school in Toronto. Then McGill University offered her a scholarship in the fall. She never forgot that generosity, but when the year was up, she went to work in Montreal and lived at a boarding house. There, a Nova Scotian engineer named Fred Benjamin sat at her table. “How much sugar do you take in your coffee?” he asked, tapping some in before she had a chance to answer. “I don’t take any,” she noted wryly.
For the next two decades, the air force took them across Eastern Canada and Europe. Their first two children were born in Quebec, the third in Nova Scotia and the fourth was born in Ottawa. The family of six then received a compassionate posting in northeastern France, to be closer to Obee’s dying mother in London.
