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.

What’s New? Select the 08 Sixties Reunion link under News Flash! and check out all of the 08 Reunion pages packed with information and events for the upcoming 08 Sixties Reunion. Follow the arrows at the bottom of the Reunion Home page to guide you through an entertaining unravelling of details even a monkey can see through. (you’ll see what I mean)

Check out the organizers, each one has a specific role and is linked for you to contact regarding any questions or responses for that area.

The Reunion Newsletter will keep you up to date as the Reunion 08 Countdown Clock ticks down.

The online registration form is a convenient way to show your interest to the organizers (to be followed with pesos to count you in)

A monthly Reunion ad will feature a mystery 60’s brat guest, to be guessed, as part of the Who Am I? Name Game. Play along for fun and fabulous outrageous prizes.

Maybe name the monkey?

Check it out and What’s New
