Hi everyone,
I attended Princess Elizabeth in 1965 and 1966. Joanne Collingwood was a good friend.
I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me!
sincerely, Lesly.

ShiloBrats-InterActive! forum has been upgraded to the latest version. It was decided the ImageShock feature for adding a photo to your post, which has been unstable, and inconsistent in the time it was here, has now been removed. ShiloBrats Gallery had since been added, and proven to be very easy to use for both posting and viewing of photos. None of the photos posted by ImageShock have been affected and will continue to be in place as long as the ImageShock site continues. You should still be able to post photos in your forum posting by pasting the link to your photosite as done previously.

There are now three ways for your photos to be added to ShiloBrats. Send them directly to ShiloBrats through the link to Edie or Contact for uploading to the site, or to ShiloBrats Gallery Album. Add them yourself to the Gallery in albums you create and control, and send Edie a photo collection of your design or for her to assemble for the new Special Editions feature. ShiloBrats is all about Shilo and you, add to the memories.

Hi all. Signed this a few years ago and caught with a couple people and figured I'd update again. Lived in Shilo from 1962 to 1971. First on Citadel then at 27 Alfreston. We were on outside edge of the camp and my dad grew gardens and I built a wooden "fort" well out past our actual backyard fence. I used to love going to the base post office with my dad, that little white building across from the "shopping center". I can still clearly picture the post office boxes in there and the sound of the key as my dad opened it to get the mail. And going to the saturday afternoon theater to watch some western movie, buying snacks and the inside ticket booth where we bought the tickets. Some of my friends back then were Andy Buick, Paul Sawatzky, Terry Walker (right next door) and Jim something (also next door, jeez, cannot remember his last name, he was a year or two older than me). The McKnights lived in the house on the other side and he was a principle of one of the camp schools for a few years. A lot of memories. I always thought Shilo was a perfect place for a kid to grow up. I've driven back through the base 5 times in the past 25 years as I was on travels. The first time it was under control of the West German Army and the front gate was still secure. I looked up a random name in the phone book in Brandon with any address of a street I knew on base. I went up to gate, said I was there to visit Mr. XXXXXX a that address, they looked it up and let me in. Seems crazy now that I took that chance but I really wanted to go back and drive around my old life. I will be back there again. It pulls you.
Drop me a line if you knew me or my family.
-Butch (George, but back then it was just "Butch".

Hi all;

It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of a Shilo Brat who was near and dear to many of us.
Pauline McMullen passed away April 4th in New Zeland, where she has lived for a many years. Pauline has been struggling with MS for a number of years.

My condolences go out to the McMullen family

I�ve attached a link to the "Langley Advance" below, which has an article about Ginette Genereux, who is singing for our troops in different areas of the world!!! Just paste the link below to your browser, (replacing the "dots" with a period.) The article is directly below the header on the front page under Langley Today. If you click the picture of Ginette on the ATV you can hear her sing one of her songs. Ginette is fabulously talented, gorgeous and is the niece of one of our proud shilobrats...JOHN EDMONDSON!!!

I have finally made it through the full Shilo Brats site from start to finish. I have to commend all of you for the work you have put into maintaing this site. There were quite a few picutres of places and people that I remember from growing up and going to school there.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this years reunion as I will be on my bike touring the Cabot Trail during that time.

I will however, bookmark this site and check it on a regular basis.

Guys, this is a great site. I haven't been back to Shilo for about 5 years now.

I was always wondering how to get in touch with old classmates from PEHS but c*** find any site in Shilo.

Drop a line when you get a chance.
