Comments: Thanks, D & Ken Jenkins regarding the dialogue around ShiloBrat's utilization of Facebook.
My wife and I, being of a certain vintage-just before the Ice Age, have resisted jumping into the use of Facebook, Twitter, etc. as a venue of communication (although a communication-cornerstone of our kids, nieces, nephews & grandkids.)
Why? Perhaps in sympathy with other folks of our age, we strongly value our privacy and security.
I will continue to support and enjoy this website, while hoping the "Guestbook" e-mail feature will not be excluded in the near term as a venue of contact/communication for the ShiloBrats.

Comments: That is a good question Doug, as there are a lot of Shilobrats not on Facebook. There are no funds required to be on or to operate on Facebook. The ShiloBrats fund account is used for keeping the ShiloBrats web site online and now once a year making a $100.00 donation to the Shilo MFRC (Military Family Resource Centre) our designated charity.

Comments: Hello shilobrats! and thanks Debbie Delmage for your thoughts on smells creating memories, as I know for sure when I think of living outside the gate, I remember the Pig Ranch!! Our web site is alive and kicking! and we have enough money that I don't have to go on a drive to raise funds! thanks to many shilobrats who, without urging, send their contributions to me (as treasurer), to keep the site going. thanks to you. This is the biggest military brats website in the world, and you all are part of it!

Comments: Thanks for the update Kay. I was concerned that somebody might have just taken it. It's my very first memory of Shilo, driving past it on our way to the Base in 1954.

Comments: The passing of a Shilo Brat.
As for most of us living on base in PMQs was really the best part of our lives the friends - the fun we all shared I still remember it and do miss it but in the real world life marches on.
It is with great sadness that I have advise those who knew Danny Bodnaruk of his passing.
Danny passed away this morning April 10, 2014 in Red Deer, Alta.
He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends..

Comments: Hello everyone! This is my first submission to the Shilobrats web site. I've spent a most enjoyable morning perusing the comments and chit chat being shared by everyone! It is said memories last forever. However, memories have a tendency to fade and I will admit that living in such a high speed world, my memories have become somewhat foggy. Thank you everyone for reminding me that it truly is a joy to stop, (or merely slow down), and smell the roses. They say smell is the one sense we have which links us to our memories....thanks for the bouquet
