Her
Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson
Governor General of Canada
My life was
shaped by my family and our having come through the crucible of
war and loss together. My father and mother were courageous, indomitable
and as different as night and day. When I was 5, we lived in a tiny
rented apartment, and my father told me that some day we would go
to the opera together, sit in a box and I would wear a long dark
red velvet ball gown. He was right.
