Nice going through the site. We didn't live in Shilo long. We were there from about 1970 - 1973 when my father died and we moved away. I did grades 9,10,and 11 there but it seems like I grew up there. My two sisters Beverly, and Pamela might be known to some of you. We lived at 69 Alfriston.

Howdy to you Jim West.
Interesting. …you musta had a known The Murphy clan.
Our family was there in H- huts as well. I could go on and on about them Huts. …C’mon. We lived on Number 7 Ubique. For years. Who do you think helped(as kids) to build the small garages between the duplexes. Chuckle. And and also we were the ones of course all us young kids whom did all the landscaping. It was all virgin at first. So the ground maintenance guys came around and deposited all the fill and the tools and the families all pitched in to square it all away. We even planted the grass. Good ole’ number 7.
The Findlay’s were long time friends. Across the street from us.
I must confess that I might need a name jog because the name West I must be forgetting. ….Across the street directly as I try to remember were Whiting Seems like one of the kids names was Margaret Whiting.
My dad And Mum were Bill and Audrey Murphy. Ernie was the oldest boy. Second was myself Bill but family called me Bump. Gale was oldest Girl under Ernie and myself. Other kids were Guy. Then Roseanne Then clay and Clay.There were some more kids once my dad retired and we moved to Nova Scotia in ‘61. ….I was born in Nova Scotia in Halifax in 1948 and in a short time after we moved to Camp Shilo. My Dad was in The RCASC (Service Corps).
Got lots of memories and a penchant for telling stories all about Shilo. Indeed I have a photo memory about every inch of Shilo in those days.
My Dad was bartender for years at the Sargeants Mess. He also delivers groceries from the Maple Leaf store. In an old ford station wagon. Among other things. Spent time in 2 schools there as we grew up before having moved to NS. Spent hours and hours at school yard playing marbles as the girls skipped double Dutch rope and did all the hop scotch. Chuckle.
Anyway our paths must have crossed many times on Ubique.
You must recall the Turners and The Martins as well.
Later for now. Forgive the editing of this post as I have clumsy fingers on a small mini iPad.

I was born in Shilo in 1948 in the military hospital where we originally lived in the H huts. We then moved to Patawawa Cr. before moving to Ontario. We returned to Camp Shilo in 1955 and lived on Ubique, )I think the Findlays were our next door neighbours) where we stayed until 1958 before moving to Petawawa, On. My late sister, Margaret Rose West graduated from high school in Shilo in 57/58. My sister Marianne and I went to elementary school during that time.

We lived at 22 Sapper Ave. from 1956 to 1961. Our names were Leslie(f), Mel and Rob. Mom and Dad were Kay and Fergie. The three of us attended both PEPS and O'Kelly. My favourite teachers were Bob Hilton for Gr. 7 and Ivan Traill for Phys Ed. I participated in track and field and we used to go up to Winnipeg for the Legion meets where we saw a lot of the greats like Bruce Kidd and Harry Jerome. Some of my best memories are from our time in Shilo. It's fun to have found this site. I've been back to Petawawa but never back to Shilo.

Good day all. Every once in awhile, I come back to this web page to see what is new. We resided in Shilo from 55-60. My Dad was in the School of Artillery. My older sister has her pic in the grade 5 picture in one of the schools. I attended kindergarten there also. I remember the hot summers and cold winters. Watching the planes from Rivers dropping paratroops, going down to the Q lines to the jump tower. Both my parents have passed away, Mary & Joe Villebrun. Thanks.

I lived in the huts (A-1) in 1947 and in D-27 (later 75 Frontenac) and 51 Kingston and went to school in the huts and then the new PEPS building. Return posting to Shilo in 1957 where a bunch of us grade one-ers were reunited (like Lorraine Gradwell, Bev Brown.)I then lived in 23 Sapper Ave. Just wondering if there are any 1956-1959 kids still on the upper crust of the planet.they could get me at goerzenj@telus.net

Oh,boy--I'm in trouble-I missed first day at school today at PEHS! Mr. Birch is not going to be happy.

Did anyone else skip class today too??

Let's discuss over a coke at the Strange Hall bowling alley.

With Regrets,

Bill G.
