Comments: #1 - friend inquiries have been posted in the Guestbook only to disappear into the back pages as new comments are posted. To combat this we created “Who Are You Looking For?” in the InterActive! Forum. Your friend requests stay in place and replies can be made to them. Not everyone who visit’s the site is aware of all the features available, and this is a popular request. As a result of your posting, we are going to give this feature more prominence by adding a direct link on the ShiloBrats Home page once all the reunion info is up and running. There will be a Guestbook announcement when this is in place. Untill then you can still find it in InterActive!
#2 - Bill Brown will contact you for more information regarding the Sheila Rogers program
#3 - ShiloBrats are prominent in the search engine game and as well, a number of the web team and reunion committee members are on both Classmates and Facebook. We are developing a strategy of leaving no stone unturned in the effort to inform Shilo alumni and their friends about the site and events.
Keep those comments and ideas coming.

Comments: Sorry, Faye and Bill - I was looking for a posting glitch & inadvertently both deleted Faye's post and added a test private post to Bill's comments. Modern technology, eh?

Comments: John - there are a number of Shilo "groups" on Facebook that might be used to advertise any upcoming reunions.

Comments: Hey, John Holmes..I've often wondered about those same folks that you listed. Good to hear from you!
Comments: Good idea John. Would also be an incentive for people to consider attending the 2008 reunion if a nominal list were posted of those thinking of attending. Incentive for me would be seeing names of old school friends pop up that I have not seen in 40 years. However I think I will be there anyway.

Comments: Great idea John to approach CBCs' Sheila Rogers to do a spot about the upcoming reunion and this great website!

Comments: As we gear up for the 2008 reunion, I was thinking of ways to expand the impact of this great web-site. Three thoughts came to mind: 1. Can we post folks whom we knew on this site and see who knows where theses folks are? - i.e. for me it is Byron Brown, Brian Allen, Danny Bodnaurak (SP), Sheila White, Morag McKenzie etc 2. How about using the CBC's Sheila Rogers' show to get a 10 spot to do a true Canadian moment and promote the reunion and the site? 3. Are there other web-site to use to direct folks to the ShiloBrats website?
