I really liked Delaine's mom, Mrs. Green. So easy going, so fun loving, and a great mother to her kids. When word came out, that day in 1961, that my cousin Larry (at the age of 5) had wandered into a water pit, this woman didn't hesitate, she got over there and dived and dived, trying to find Larry. I'll never forget her shivering body, trying desperately to find her son's pal in the cold water, crying hysterically when it failed. It's haunting, but I gained a very early and very lasting sense of respect for her. Good bye Micki. You deserve your heaven. :!angel:

I remember Mrs Green very well. I was a lifeguard at General Strange Pool and had many occasions to have a chat and a gossip with her....such a wonderful person! She will be sorely missed by so many. My deepest condolence to her family at this very sad time.

With great sadness, I am to inform you of the loss of a great lady..Mrs. Green was a "Mom" to many of us that went swimming at the GSH, where she was truly loved as our locker lady. RIP....Condolences to all her 'kids' & friends. HUGS, Ida

Hello. I just found out about this site. My family lived in Shilo in 1966-67. We lived on Frontenac Cres. I went to O'Kelly. Frasiers lived in the other side of the Duplex with us. Except for the haircuts, it was a great place to grow up as a kid.

Yes Faye, I did actually meet & marry (Aug. 4, 1979) my military sweetheart in Shilo. Thanks to fellow army brat, Barb Scott-Gilfoy & her then military boyfriend, Dennis Tomlin. They hooked us up on a blind date almost 35 years ago (Feb. 21, 1976). Bob Rabideau has been the love of my life ever since. :o)

Some of us who were in elementary school in the early 60's (while Greenwood school was under construction) attended temporary schools in H-huts called D-5 and A-2--I think they were officially part of PEPS (at least that's what my report cards say). Both have disappeared without a trace.
My dad also used the term "CB'd" (confined to barracks). I never heard the expression "grounded" until we lived in a civilian community.

in Germany one of the army words were "living on the economy" when you didn'thave enough points to get a P M Q . maybe that was everywhere but I was just thinking about how many Points you had to have to get a house PMQ
We moved alot in such a short time, in my 14 years before we got posted to Soest Germany in 1965, we were in Shilo, Petawawa,Shilo. The Peg, Shilo; and then Ottawa for a year. That was a lot of packing for my Mum.lol She would just get unpacked and everything in order and Dad would come home and say " let's go you got 2 months". I can see her face today. LOL
