Hi, I just learned about this site and was browsing through it. Was delighted to find some of the people I knew through the many moves we had into and out of Shilo. I lived at several different addresses in Shilo throughout the fifties and sixties and I believe even the early forties - H Huts as a baby) and have so many fond memories of the base and prairies. Took many trips (walking or biking) by myself out to Waggle Springs just to lie under the trees by the water, or to just lie in the prairies and look up at the clouds and sky while listening to the wind move the prairie grass around me. Loved the campsite and can remember nearly everything about it still. I relate to Shilo as being where I grew up as most of my time was spent there throughout my childhood. Lived in Douglas for a short while, and literally walked to Shilo every day and back for school. Can't forget that, but I loved it. Met lots of good people and looking over this site I was smiling at many of the photos as I saw many of you whom I know. Even found my sister and brother's photos from school there as well which really touched me as Bruce, my only brother, died in an accident last October on his way to see me from Alberta. So seeing his picture amongst the ones on your site really stirred me and did bring a few soft tears to my eyes, but it made me really happy to have seen it here. Also, the one with me in it re: the Fire Prevention Awards (Sherri Maines). I still remember that as I really wanted to win and I couldn't draw, but I did it anyway. Took me all night to draw a house, so when they called my name as a winner, I thought "WoW!!" - it was worth it - no sleep that is!! I want to thank you for the opportunity you have given me/us to be able to go back to Shilo and see our our friends again and to share our experiences there. There is no place like home, and Shilo is and always will be my home!! And all those whome I met, will always be my family!! Love to all. Sherry

Desperate measures call for desperate pleas. ShiloBrats is still searching for two PEHS Condita yearbooks, 1972 & 1973 and the cover design for 1977 to complete the collection. A request to the yearbook printer revealed that past yearbooks are not kept on file. Considering that copies from all other published years have been found, there must be copies out there somewhere. Please help complete the memories. Contact ShiloBrats if you have a copy of the 72, 73, or 77 PEHS Condita yearbooks.

We were in Camp Shilo from 1969 until 1974. Does anyone know what became of Greenwood School? It never seems to show up in pictures or memories. I think it was built as the high school, and then they turned it into a junior school, and made Princess Elizabeth the high school.
My late father was Major Smith and our family lived at 25 Saper Avenue. My parents and brother are now gone. It does seem like a long time ago, however there were many wonderful memories of Shilo.

Just found out about this site from a friend of my sisters who recognized my name from living in Shilo from 1959-1962, grades 8, 9 and 10. Wow, it was exciting to see so many that I remembered. Once I saw the pictures I remembered who they were. I worked in Halifax for a number of years and now live in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.

I was born in Shilo 1948. My Dad was posted there again in 1956 and again in 1962. Then I was posted there myself in 1967. I have the best memories of PEHS. Those school dances were fantastic. Does anyone remember who the "Beatles" imitation band was.
