Comments: Hey. How's everyone doing? Been quite a while since I've posted. I have looked in periodically tho. Been 'sidelined' due to some ongoing health issues. All is well now. In fact, my Doc says that 'I will outlive him'. I sure hope so, as he is 87 yrs old! Shilo 'may' have another connection to the 2010 Olyimpics. Jim Robertson, (#5 Ubique Rd. 67-72) has a son Michael. (Mike Robertson, Siver Snowboard Cross) I know that Jim's parents retired to La Cory Ab. I lost touch with Jim long ago. Anyway, maybe someone who is 'in the know' could check this out further. 'Maybe'! Cheers to all, GO CANADA, GO'!
Comments: Can anyone remember when you got a free admit to the theater when you stayed behind and cleaned up? We were child labourers for only a dime, that's how much it cost to get in. How about Coffee Cup #1? It was being built in the early 60s or late 50s. Strange Hall was where we went swimming and earned the Red Cross certificate and bronze medalion. Do you remember Snuffy Clark, he was one of the hardest lifeguards there.

Comments: It seems that we are destined to cross paths with our former Shilobrats no matter where we are living or what we are doing. After retiring from full time work last year, I returned to work part time a few weeks ago at our local mental health facility. As I was being introduced to the health care team I would be working with, I stood to shake hands with a fellow nurse whose name was Mary Ratensperger and who I recognized right away as being Mary MacDonald from PEHS. So we both had an OMG experience when I told her who I was and connected us both to Shilo. We've had great fun working together since then, but haven't had time to get together off duty to reminisce (work keeps getting in the way). Who'd a thunk it?? Penetanguishene of all places. So Faye .. Nancy ... Tanis ... and everyone else interested in getting together in Shilo for 2010 homecoming this year ... count me in. I will reserve both long weekends. We could make an informal mini-reunion of it. Yay!

Comments: Faye et al....would definately be interested in a get together anytime in or around Shilo. Any chance we could get a tee time during the weekend. Shilo was the first golf course I abused as a kid and would like to try it again.

Comments: Don lived in Shilo and attended school from around '60 to '63. I was in school in '62. Don is retired and I'm still thinking about it. Kids are grown and we both like to travel. We both remember Lawrence and Anne, Kelly Schrott, Zoe Fowler and others. Are you still around?
Comments: Is there any way I can get to know when my old duplex (105 Royal)was first occupied or was ready for occupancy? I know it was in he very early fifties and I recall that we were the first family in there but I'm not sure exactly and can't seem to find out exactly when we moved into it. How about school records from PEPS as to when I first enrolled there. Somehow, the names Rankin, Darling and MacDonald seem to me to be associated with PEPS as teachers or possibly MacDonald was principal.

Comments: The 50 more down album is now updated with photos of all the doomed houses before demolition. Thank you Blake and Sharron Mooney for recording these images and memories for ShiloBrats. They stand quiet in winter looking dressed for a funeral, unfortunately their own.
Were any of these your old address? Please continue to let us know where and when you lived in Shilo?
