I am back in Iqaluit, Nunavut doing another six week tour of duty. And today I attended the Remembrance Day ceremonies here in Iqaluit which were held indoors (for obvious climate related reasons)in the large Cadet Hall next door to the Canadian Legion. In spite of a winter storm warning, the hall was filled to over capacity with many left having to stand, which they did. They were all people of Nunavut (Nunavummiut) but of different races, but they all sang the same anthem, held the same two minute silence, and paid tribute to the fallen with tears in their eyes. It was a very heartwarming site. Even here in the high Arctic, they remember.

Hello to all the 64 to 67 Shilo Brats. I just realized that it's been 44 or 45 years since I've seen most of you. I for 1 think I have made a terrible mistake not keeping in touch with you. With that in mind, would there be any interest in getting together for a mini reunion in or around Edmonton or Calgary in 2012? If so, lets start the process. Respond to the guestbook and to my direct e-mail if this is of any interest to you. My e-mail is terryandholly@shaw.ca. :!cry:
