Comments: Forgot to mention....does any of you know how to bring up Edith's "sweethearts pictures", as when I go into the Feb newsletter, her Guinea trip comes up. Interesting trip, but I'd like to see the pictures of Shilo's sweethearts as well.

Comments: An update on Ron Binkley.
Spoke with Ron on Thursday night. He's home from the hospital, starving and eating all the time, and doing and sounding pretty good. He's working with a Speech Language Pathologist, as his speech is a bit impaired from a small stroke he suffered during surgery, but the outcome looks really good.
He wants to thank all of you who sent warm wishes for his recovery.
Comments: In reply to Peggy Green's post of 8 Feb: Geez, Peg - you sure it was me? Must have been lots of stupid kids in long red/white striped toques who stuck their tongues on a fence that day....Good thing that doesn't qualify as my most embarassing moment... I too have many fond memories of Shilo in the mid-sixties, such as my parents signing me up for square-dance lessons, playing hockey on the rink some of our fathers built behind the house (Alfriston Cr), the pig farm burning down, the old Maple Leaf store and so on. When we moved to Ottawa in the mid 70's, we found out our neighbour was a former Base Commander - Ken Toms. Yup - small world.
Comments: Hoping to find a very dear freind, Gloria James.

Comments: I did not live in Shilo but went to Brandon University's Education Class in 1967-1968 with Angelika Scholz, who did hail from Shilo. We are holding a class reunion in the fall of 2008 at BU so I am trying to reconnect with Angie. I did get her email from someone here at Shilobrats but lost the info when my computer crashed last fall. If someone knows her and has her email, please send her mine so we can re-connect. Thanks

The Name Game…just three more days to take a guess at our three ladies impersonating the Beatles, a correct guess of any one of them makes you a winner, and if you don’t know any of them, you can still guess which Beatle is being imitated by each, including the headless one. Again any correct guess is a winner, most correct guesses is the monthly winner. All winners are eligible for fabulous outrageous prizes to be drawn at the Reunion.

Comments: For the many Shilobrats active on Facebook and other social networking sites, a link has just been added in Links for you to check out the new My Lost Trails networking site set up specifically for Military and Emergency Service members and their families from Canada and the U.S. It has an area for Canadian Brats.
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.
