I lived in shilo from 1960 until 1965-66
My brothers were Bruce and Craig Bowman.
I lived on the Packway and then at #3 royal avenue. I was friend with Carol Orton whose father was the colonal in the camp. We did a spanish dance number in the 1964 variety show but are name and act was accidentally left off of the program.the parnhams lived next door on royal Barbara and Dianne. I was also friends with Joanne Peterson who lived on the Packway. she was in the swim club. I remember fondly the fire safety week and the little parachutes they dropped from a plane and if you got one with some kind of a coin you redeemed it for a prize. I also fondly remember the Brownie pack I was a sixer in the Pixies. I also remember Hay and Sleigh rides as David McCabe was in my class. I remember sweeping the floors at the movies and getting sponge toffee and a pass to the next movie.

We were stationed in Shilo from 1966 to 1971, lived on Alfriston, first in #28 and then in #37.
I attended grade 6 thru 11 and went through some very formative years, growing up with a varied bunch of "brats", some of who weren't all that welcome at our house because they were a "bad influence". Seems we all have choices to make in this life, and not all are made well. I survived all the choices, good and bad (thus far), and through the advances in technology am able to "catch up" on the "old gang".
There are a lot of characters from those years that have been on my mind from time to time, and there were very few that I have been able to locate. I won't make a list here, maybe when I get some more time, I will return to this site and do that, but I've left my work email for those that recognize my name so that they can contact me.
I just want to say how great it is to have a site like this. My thanks to Otter.
later,
Dave

Hello Shilo Brats...I lived in Shilo from 64-66 at 15 Citadel Cresent. I was only 12/13 at the time but I will always remember going to my first dances there on the base. What awesome bands we had, sounded just as good as the real McCoy! I was dissapointed that the Reunion was cancelled, as I've put on 3 reunions myself and I know how much work goes into them. I hope they'll be another one planned in the future. Because of this site I made contact with my best friend from Shilo days,Jackie Findlay(Sabean)which is nice Being a brat we all have that bond that will last a lifetime!
