The 1962 Condita was the first and only PEHS yearbook to publish some class photos without names. As luck would have it, Sheila (Love) Rodgers wrote down the names of those classmates at the time in a Shilo diary she brought to the B.C. mini reunion. If you lived in Shilo early to mid 60’s, return to the Undergraduates section, grade 10, 9, and Undergraduates class photos. What a trip seeing those names again! Thanks so much Sheila!

The request for a resident ShiloBrats contact has been answered. Patricia (Murphy) Marion becomes the newest member of the ShiloBrats team as our resident insider. Patsy is an '82 PEHS graduate who stayed in Shilo and is currently the base Hospitality Manager. Most of us have not revisited Shilo since we left and Patsy will be helping us with some new features about present day Shilo, coming in the New Year. Welcome Patsy!

I see a couple of names I know--Ron Flamand and Rob(bie)Howitt. I wonder about Doug Jordan--did you have a pretty little sister named Yvonne, and live at the end of Sapper Avenue in 1963 or so?

I was born in Shilo (probably one of the last) in 1955. My brother David was born in Brandon a year later. My dad (Maj. Alan Keenan) taught gunnery during our second posting in 1960-64, although he was in the Congo from the summer of '63 to June of '64. Rob Howitt shared a driveway with my best bud, Jack Williams. We all started school at Princess Elizabeth, but spent grades 2 and 3 in an H-hut called "D-5". The baby boom was in full swing, and they were building Greenwood (I think?) school to take up the overflow, but it wasn't done until '63 as I remember.

My mum Margaret started the boy's choir at St. Barbara's church. Ron Flamand was her star singer, and she was sure he was going to go places with his voice.

I lived in Shilo from 1971 to 1982. ( age 9 to 20 ) If it was at all possible for someone who lives there today to send some photos of 37 Lundys lane as well some of my old haunts such as General Strange Hall. B.X. or anything that would bring back old memories. Thanks Mark Scott

Thank you dad, Helgi Helgason, for being a military man, for bringing our family to CFB Shilo in the 1950s, and for attending today's Remembrance Day service with me in Brandon, Manitoba.

Remembrance day

Lest we forget…

Take a moment and travel back in the Guestbook to a year ago from page 31 as comments relate to our own family memories of our parents and grandparents involvement.

As a poignant reminder to why we observe Remembrance Day, return to the last page in Memories and read Otter’s Remembrance piece, Tears for the fallen.
Select Memories from the side menu and click on the Last Page link at the bottom.

Then visit Shilobrat Reunions and select Movies from the top menu and watch Edie’s tribute to Remembrance Day 2005, The Year of the Veteran.

In the copy beside the movie you will find two links, one for the history of the poppy as the remembrance symbol, and one to all the war monuments in Canada that serve as memorials to our veterans. Find one near you.

This day is to remember the lives lost for our freedom…and now we also pray for our current troops who continue the battle.

Wear your poppy proud and send a prayer.
