In answer to your question Faye I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 91. I ran too ran behind the DDT Tuck, but for me that was in Kingston on the base. I think asbestos was used in many PMQs. I know there were many on the Kingston Base with it.

One of our shilobrats, Rod Dafoe, has been diagnosed with asbestosis, and is being tested for mesothelioma. Has anyone else been diagnosed with conditions such as this? I know from the postings in the last few years in Shilobrats Interactive! Stories and Memories, that at least one other brat has a chronic condition. Are there any others?
In 2006 Bucky Dent wrote about many disorders and diseases, such as Parkinsons, ALS, Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which might have been caused by exposure to chemicals that are now banned, but were used in on base in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We didn’t know that walking and riding our bikes behind that dense cloud from the defogger trucks. Chemicals like DDT and Malathion, and as importantly, insulation like Asbestos: what did they do to Shilobrats?
Does anyone know about the asbestos in the PMQs? Were they ALL insulated this way? What can we tell the Dafoes, who lived at 93 Royal Avenue, about other diagnoses, so that Rod’s doctors can have a better idea? Write to the guestbook if you can help.

I posted on Facebook, a very well done "support our troops" music video produced by Farenheit Films called STANDING STRONG AND TRUE. Go to Facebook or Youtube to hear it..fantastic..
But another fantastic thing is that Lonnie Frankow's niece (Cindy's daughter Stacey McKitrick) sings in it! Pause at 3:06 to see her. Blonde with black dress. :!clap: :!party:

Living in Tokyo this past week has been interesting. When I was checking out the ShiloBrats page, I remembered why the aftershocks, etc, don't bother me-too many years living with the guns going off not far from the PMQ's when our fathers were out playing soldier. It did prepare me-not they way I might have thought. That practise was good for something-earthquakes aren't as scary as one might think-just like being a teen back in Shilo, with the windows rattling, etc. ;) ;)

During a private ceremony on Friday at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, presented some of Canada's highest honours to members of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).

A number of Canadian Special Forces Operators received Military Valour Medals For Afghan Operations.
The Star of Military Valour and the Medal of Military Valour are national honours awarded to recognize acts of valour, self-sacrifice or devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy.

Rockin' Ronnie's son, MICHAEL HAYES, is one of these members!!! How proud the family must be; and it makes me proud, all over again, to be a shilobrat!! :!clap:

Where did you live? When I moved into 89 Royal in 1977, the Crandalls lived in the other half of the duplex.
Lisa, Jeff, Tara and maybe Leeann? Both Jeff and his ister Leeann(?) were redheads. They were posted to Winnipeg. ;)
