Samantha’s husband, Commander Harold Vickers, Royal Canadian Navy, would be the Officer Commanding the Canadian sailors for the next three years and would be working closely with Admiral McCallum. When Virginia learned that Samantha was a school teacher she immediately began her recruiting drive to press Samantha into service at the school. Samantha thought it would be a good idea, and looked forward to meeting Virginia after the day’s classes. Samantha stood and walked to a window looking out at Loch Gare, she wondered how often Harold would sail out of the Loch, his duty would require many trips to sea. When Virginia came in she saw Samantha gazing at the sea and walked up to her, saying, “Good afternoon Samantha, I have stood in exactly the same spot looking for Brian’s submarine to return.”
