The numbers for the reunion are nowhere near where we would like them to be. This is very disappointing, after all the hard work of the committee members. If this reunion is to happen it is necessary to register and to get your cheques in by June 15th. If we don't have at least 75 paid registrants by then we will have to cancel the reunion. At present we only have 18 paid and another 20 or so who say they are coming. But promises don�t count; we need your cheques. If we reach 75 by June 15th we will continue to take registrations until July 15th.

If we have to cancel, do not fear, you will get your money back.

Thank you to Cindy Buckman and Tom Carey for responding to the yearbook request for the 77 cover, which is now posted, also Cindy has allowed ShiloBrats tech Glen McLean access to her '74-'77 yearbook collection to fine tune image scans to be posted later.

In response to the '72 & '73 yearbooks, Dana (Jones) Akey reported there was not one published for '72 and Tim Nieradka reported similar for '73. Would really like to know for sure, is there any confirmation on this?

Thank you again for your input and contributions, keep the photos and information flowing.

Hey Pat & Alexia;

I am really looking forward to seeing you at the Reunion this summer. I can see you are totally motivated to come. I am sure Wayne Helgason will be glad to have you around with your mechanical skills.

Maybe, your posting will encourage other to post their intentions about the reunion.

I hope Leslie Phillips (Stevens) gets back to read the guestbook. Spotted her post while catching up on the messages I haven't been able to read for the last few weeks overseas. Of course, who could forget the inseparable pair of JoAnne (Long Tall Sally) and Leslie? Hope they will both show up for the reunion. Alexia and I are telling everyone that we really can't be anywhere else on that weekend - regardless of WHAT they think is more important (and that's a tall order if it means their lights will go out!)

Hi Sherry, glad you found us. My memories of you and Bruce go way back. We we very young. I was only about 5 or 6 at the time and went to kindergarten at what later became the country club. I'm not too sure which of you was my age but one day I went to your house when the bus dropped us off instead of going home. Well, I guess after a few hours of not showing up there was a search party out looking for me. When I finally strolled home boy did I get it. I was sorry to hear about Bruce. I hope that you do think about coming to our reunion this summer. Ken Jenkins (used to be my next door neighbour) and I will be there and I'm sure more that you can share memories with.

Hi Ken, I'm smiling again..I was just going to save the photos re: Bruce and Penny to send to her and I noted your quick response. Great to hear from you. You know, it does seem like I just made a visit home coming to this site and now I have had a visit from a friend...thanks for your message. Also, I meant to say I was in Shilo from the 'late' forties - so I think I may be closer to you in age than you think but that doesn't really matter. As we get older, the spaces in time dimenish between us, and we certainly do have a lot in common. This morning a name came to me from Alfriston - Geraldine Morton - who lived across from us in the back. She used to have a lot of 'parties' there in her basement and I could hear them laughing, the noise, music, etc. many a time. And I remember that new green car with the fin fenders her Father bought. What a car! We had that old Nash then and we used to say that it ran on vapours because the tank always said empty. Jerry Crowder lived there too. I loved to dance with him whenever I got a chance because he was such a good dancer and we seemed to pair up at a competition once which we won at the school dance. I thought I was going to be a dancer after that for sure - but, not to be, although I still love dancing and all types of music. Moves my soul!
The memories just keep coming so I will say thank you again for that. Have a great day! Sherry

Hi Sherry, so happy you found us, you are one of the ultimate Shilobrats. I remember you well, your dad and mine were close working and hunting buddies. Sad to hear about Bruce, he was a friend, and at one time our family lived across the street from yours on Alfristan. You had moved on then but I remember you used to visit. Something about younger guys having a fascination with older girls... and your name (spelling) will be corrected on that photo. Cheers!
