Thank you for all the work you put into the section on the Shilo GoldEyes. They were great years of swimming. My mind is a little foggy on the membership but your pictures brought back the faces vivid and clear. Had great pals Brian Allen, Wayne Coulson, Don Baker, Sheilagh Hunt. I am still in touch with Wayne. Would like to have another reunion soon and maybe some of the old swim team would show up.

Can anyone provide me with the whereabouts of Sylvia or Rick Moore? They were in Shilo in the 68-72 range. Sylvia would have been in grade 11 in 68/69 and grade 12 69/70, Rick would have been about 3 years younger.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

I was walking through the field in Front of O'Kelly school carrying my newspapers to deliver on Packway etc. when some kid came running by saying Kennedy had been shot. Needless to say I didn't deliver the papers over lunch and had to do them after school. I was 12.

Re Kennedy - we were living in Wembley, Middlesex, England at the time and it was about 7:30 Friday night when they made the announcement that Kennedy had been shot. The announcer came on about 2 minutes later to confirm that he had died. We were watching a show called Emergency Ward 10 at the time.

I was attending an American Forces High School that year and it was an emotional return to school the following Monday.

I was playing with my friend Jack Williams in his living room right across the shared driveway from Rob Howitt when I saw the news of the Kennedy assassination on the TV--it must have been after school.

I recall the day of JFK's assassination like it happened yesterday. I was in grade 6 at Carpathia elementary school at the time and was
home for lunch. Like many I remember whatever was on tv at the time, no doubt noon cartoons, was interrupted by a CBS news bulletin that shots had been fired at President Kennedy's motorcade and that further updates would follow. We didn't learn that Kennedy had died until we got back to school and the radio in our classroom advised that he had passed away. I was a great admirer of Jack Kennedy's and still am to this day, regardless of the info that is known about him now. My personal library reflects my admiration as I have many books on him and his life. Hardly a day goes by where I don't think of him. Unfortunately we went through the same thing five years later with Bobby Kennedy. Perhaps someday the truth will come out about what happened to JFK, finally.

I vividly recall that day as well, even though I was only in Gr. 3. We were living at CFB Griesbach. I have collected a bit of memorabelia over the years, including genuine teletypes announcing the death of JFK ( and also RFK).
