Faye has done it again. Everywhere she goes she draws a crowd…of Shilobrats that is. This time in Victoria. Wayne Helgason is in Victoria visiting his daughter and Faye joined them this week. Thank you to Judy (Hummel) Rioux for making arrangements and contacting everyone she had email addresses for, also to Keith & Gloria Hummel for hosting the after dinner gathering. Also thanks to Mel and Judy for putting me up for the event and the time to catch up. There would have been more brats there, for some, short notice and being mid week, a timing issue. Thanks to all who did attend, including Jeanette Stubbe who came by to say hello to everyone but couldn’t stay.

There weren’t many opportunities for photos, but with 4 cameras, we managed to capture the spirit of the evening and everyone there. A new album of photos has been added in the Gallery to the Western re Unions collection and moved up front for convenience.

If you are meeting with old friends and classmates from your time in Shilo, even one on one, remember to send pictures to ShiloBrats for posting or start your own Gallery album. Cheers! :!beer: :!clap:

Re slang words - for all the former cadets - "spiffies", the wire gizmo used to keep shirt collars nice and tight.

For those looking to find the Gallery, it is back online again. It apparently developed some code errors that were unrepairable and had to be re-installed as new. The photos have been transferred from the previous Gallery, they cling to their original disc titles which hardly resemble English and arrange themselves like little brats being difficult to manage. The titles are being translated back to English and the copy that accompanied each photo is in a separate file and has to be manually transferred back to each photo. This will all have to be redone bit by bit as we have time.

If you have an album posted in the Gallery, you will need to register again, and have your registration transferred to ownership of your album to be able to access or edit your photos. You may want to re-arrange their order and add or remove photos, titles or copy. It would help a lot if you would do that…please…pretty please.

It will require patience and a lot of tedious work over time but will be restored.

The Shilo Stag have now posted their Jan 20 and Feb 3 issues in Links and feature a fascinating review of Shilo 2010.

And for army words, a lot of you were cadets, how could you forget spit n’ polish and putties. :!wondering:

Thanks to all of you, for your hard work and efforts to keep the Shilo memories alive. I would love to hear from anyone that may remember from Shilo 1971-74. Stay healthy and be Happy, Jim

I was born in winnipeg but only lived there until i was one. Lived in Shilo, Man. until I was seven and moved to Edmonton, Ab. Never been back. Wonder what it looks like now. I remember taking the bus to Brandon a couple of times and I always got motion sick...it seemed to take forever! I remember one time Randy Bachman (yes from the band!) came to visit and I bit his finger when he tried to go coochi-coo to me. I've met him later in life and he still remembers my brother dave who airbrushed his guitar and went to school with him. Randy is a very cool and down to earth guy. :!devil: :!devil:
