She enlisted in the Canadian air force in 1951 and served until 1955, first as a fighter control operator and then as a typist. In this testimony, she recalls her family’s military history, her experience working on early warning radar systems, and her switch to clerical work. Raymond died on 5 June 2024 in Waterloo, Ontario. Please be advised that Memory Project primary sources may deal with personal testimony that reflect the speaker’s recollections and interpretations of events. Individual testimony does not necessarily reflect the views of the Memory Project and Historica Canada. Please note that although Raymond refers to the DEW Line in her testimony, she probably analyzed radar information from stations on the Pinetree Line, which was in operation during her tenure with the air force.
