Comments: Was looking through the fantastic 'Where you lived' pictures....the old duplex #9 sure doesn't look anything like it did in the 70's. There were holly hocks all down the side of the house & a buttercup hedge along the driveway. We shared a porch, connecting us with the Cameron's - Mr. & Mrs. Cameron, Carla, twins- Hazel & Earl, Camilla, France, Giselle, Jacqueline & two more, I think? Amazing how our huge families could cope with only ONE bathroom & so many girls!!

Comments: I lived in Shilo from 1960 to 1963. Just wondering what happened to a few old friends namely Gary Davis, Preston Pyle, Terry Brown,Ritchie Leskiew. My brother Al "Sonny" Harrington and myself are the only surviving members of our immediate family,my dads name was Bert "Fish" Harrington. We lived at 29 Alferston. It would be cool to hear from anyone.

Comments: We haven't been to the website since well before Christmas, so it was quite a shock when Mel read of Dave Findlay's passing. I can still see Dave's shy & smiling face from "way back then". Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to Jackie and their families.

Comments: Does anyone one have any pictures, or memories to share of the old Treesbank Ferry. I have such great memories of taking that back and forth across the Assiniboine River back in the 60's, getting to it from the bottom end of the Ranges, not far from the old Criddle Farm.
Comments: I lived at 28 Quebec Crescent with parents Jack and Margaret and brothers John and Paul from summer 1956 to May 1965.

Comments: Laurie Marsden found two military websites that she thought might have photos of interest for some of us. One is Meteorology class photos from all years on all military bases in Canada (your dad might be in one) there is one from Shilo in 1963, now posted with names in the Artillery Instructors album in the Gallery, and from other bases, Trenton, Gagetown, Winnipeg etc. if you lived there, or your dad may have been sent there on course. The other site is a photo gallery of D-Day Veterans taken in 1989, maybe there's a relative there.
Laurie tried posting them in the Guestbook, but website URL’s won’t post in the Guestbook as a spam deterrent. They have been posted in InterActive! in the category News and Upcoming Events. Look under Military photo websites from Laurie Marsden.
