Comments: I was going through my sister’s ‘box of stuff’ from her Goldeyes swimming years for a Shilo Goldeyes Special Edition we are working on, you know, the ‘box of stuff’ from your Shilo years you know about and say you are going to find and send us stuff. There were ribbons. badges, medals, programs, awards of all kinds…but what is this!…lying in the middle of all this ‘stuff’ was a copy of the Informer, (42 years later) the PEHS newspaper from 1968 - 70, the first edition of the second year of publication. That was the year I returned to Shilo to complete grade 12, oops!, there’s my initials in the gossip column, seems I stole somebody’s girlfriend, and there again on the Student Council. I looked it up in the yearbook, there were 32 members on the Informer staff that year, surely there must be some other copies and ‘gems’ of Shilo history in that ’box of stuff” you know is still around somewhere in your family…looking forward to it.
Comments: Do any ShiloBrats recall seeing German GATES soldiers riding bicycles at CFB Shilo in the years from 1974 to 2000? I have an ex-German Army bicycle from Shilo -- a 1994 Panther -- and I'm looking for any observations or memories of bicycle use during the period of German training. Thanks!

Comments: In memory of every cancer patient, family member, and friend who has lost their battle with cancer, and in honor of those who continue to conquer it! Put this up for 1 hour if you love someone who has or had cancer. Many won't copy and paste. I did. Will you? Much love to those who are ...in the fight!
Comments: Shilo brings back many memories I lived in Shilo in 1947-1950 and still have photos of living in military supplied tents, the Q lines and into the brand new PMQs. My sister Bronwen and brother Ian were both born in Shilo. We returned in 1965 where I finally completed grade 12 in 1966 and then found my way into the military for 22 years and then another 20+ with the Hudson Bay Company and now rest in retirement in Calgary. Although I only lived in Shilo for just over a year the second time around, I was able to visit many times as my father stayed in Shilo until he retired in 1975 and then only to Brandon allowing me to get in many rounds at the Country Club. The yearbooks, photos indeed the total web site is well done and brought back many memories. A part of me will always remain in Shilo.

Comments: Hi to all Shilobrats! I was just checking out "Where did you live", and thought I would let you know that the Dafoe family (Phyllis, Lorraine, Rod, Cheryl and Bryon) lived at 93 Royal from July 1960 to July 1963. Also at 91 Royal was the Hennessey family (Jerry, Brian and a couple other brothers), for the same time period approximately. And same time period again, at either 83 or 85 Royal was the Nickerson family (Sandra and ??). On Ubique were the Findlays (Tony, Bob, Dave, Janice, Francis and Tim), --I believe it was #2 Ubique. At either 4, or 8 were the Pottingers (Gary and siblings) and farther down the street was the Woods family (Sheila). Hope this all helps.
It is 4 a.m., can't sleep, and it's amazing how a mind works -- remembering addresses from my teenage years in Shilo!
