Comments: I will be attending this years reunion and have not been back to Shilo or Brandon since the early 70's. With that in mind, do any of you have suggestions on hotels/motels? It would be nice to stay were other 60's Brats are staying.
Thanks in advance and see you in August.

Comments: Those of us who were buddies of Ronnie Binkley in the 60's, this update is for you.
Ronnie had a heart transplant two weeks ago after many years of heart problems, so severe he had to retire several years ago, and was unable to continue his passion for golf. Surgery went okay, although the docs had to open him up again as he developed a blood clot. Spoke with his son early last week and Ron was to be in ICU for a week, then out on the ward for another week, then, if all went well, he could go home.
We're wishing him a speedy recovery and hope he can get back to that game of golf.

Comments: I was thinking the same thing Paige when I read Peggy's post ... boy did it hit the nail on the head and bring back some great memories. The speargrass (made for some wicked, and painful games), the Guess Who concert at Strange Hall (I was there and remember Burton Cummings with no shirt, long hair playing the piano ... and some of the more "conservative" fathers in the crowd getting up and leaving in disgust. Still remember the "purple" prairies when the crocuses were blooming, even before all the snow was melted, and it's been years since I've heard the beautiful song of the Western Meadowlarks out on the prairies ... there's nothing quite like it.
