Just stopped by to see what was new and took some time to look through the "landmark" album again. Made me smile, as always.

I tried to use this page earlier but it didn't work for me. I just signed up on this site yesterday. I lived in Shilo from 1950/52 until the summer of 1957. We lived at 105 Royal but it does not look anything like I remember when I saw the photo in the gallery. Also, I remember living near the corner of Ubique but when I google the address, it shows further north. I remember the H huts were across the street from us in the camp part. Is there a good street map of Shilo available? I also remember a murder took place not long after we moved there, across Royal in the area near the H huts near a garbage shed. There are so many other questions but I will save them for another time.

I have been wondering where Earl Langille is, and how he is doing. He and I were good friends while he was still living there, and I haven't heard a word of him since. Hopefully, Diane will check in and let us know.

My Mother (Lois Escel/Dolan) who many of you will remember as PEHS secretary, was out to visit last month (to see youngest kid's Vetavision show at WCVM) and, as always, she remembers the school, the staff and the students with fondness.

Our son-in-law is finishing (Capt. Brendan Clancy) Fire College in Brandon, and does some time with 26th Field and on base at Shilo. He is the unofficial regimental historian for N Sask R, and is really nice to have some continuity from our "home" in the family. Sadly, he lost another good friend (Lt. Justin Boyes) who served his first tour with Brendan as a reserve officer, and joined the regs to do his second tour with the PPCLI. It made remembrance day all that much more personal and sad this year.

Hi Brian. My Dad was also with 28COD and says he remembers your father Earl very well. Are your father's ashes interred on top of one of the mountain peaks at Siffler Falls? For those that aren't familiar the place, it is near Jasper, AB and is dedicated to the Canadian Airborne. Many Airborne Vetrans converge on the area every June for a yearly cememony. It is truely a beautiful area. Thank you to all our Vetrans.

For the first time in years I almost forgot Remembrance Day, and my father who left us in 1991 and was all over Europe in the Second World War.

The reason I almost forgot was my Father In law was buried today. This was very upsetting time for my wife Junaita and her family and myself of course. Everyone is taking comfort in knowing he is out of pain and in a better place.

To my dad and the others who helped him win the war:

"Till the war drum throbbed no longer, and the battle-flags were furled
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.

"There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapped in univeral law."

(Tennyson - Locksley Hall)
