How is it that us EIGHTIES brats can't organize a reunion of our own? For the most part we all had a good time in Shlio and met many wonderful and long lasting friends! Great page here keep up the good work.

WOW!!! What a great party the west mini-reunion was. Seeing and talking with old friends and classmates again was a mind bender. Looking at the whole evening through my wife's eyes later made me realize just how important those days growing up in Shilo were to us. I and my wife would attend another mini-reunion and we are looking forward to 2008 full reunion. Congratulations to Faye, Judy, Dave, and all the organizers. You pulled it off beautifully, even though Faye was a little late. What the heck, her entrance was grand.
Keep in touch everyone. And if any of you are out my way, feel free to drop in. I'm in the phone book in Lake Cowichan.

Ron and Joan McKenzie

I'm beginning to hear wonderful reports about the gathering on Friday evening! And some photos are coming in. If I can get enough, I'll add them to our existing REUNION PAGES. Please keep in mind, if you plan to send any my way, the original photo is best, NO CROPPING or DOWN-SIZING, it gives me more opitions to work with. I'll try to stay on top of things and keep my mail box cleaned out but let me know if you have problems. Thanks and happy to hear it was such a smashing success !!

Wow what a great time was had by all at the mini reunion BC style. We all commented on how long it took, seems the center of the universe, aka Ontario, had been doing this for years. But as you all know here in the land of the Gods we are more laid back and take our time. Lets not take 40 years to do it again, and am willing to help organize something. To Faye,Dave, Judy and all the others thanks for a GREAT time

For those few attending the BC Mini Reunion that Faye was unable to contact, here's the word...

In one week, we'll be at the Eagle Creek restaurant for our BC Shilobrats reunion!!!
A whopping 43 or so brats are getting together; that is the biggest mini reunion yet, folks!
Here are the menu selections:
Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken
Wild Salmon in a Lemon Zest Dill Cream, or

Prime Rib of Beef with Au Jus and Yorkshire pudding

If you cannot make the dinner, you must let us know, (in fact let me know, as Faye will be travelling to BC and might not get your email) since the restaurant will charge us for no shows.The cost is $35 per head. We will need cash on arrival and the menu item can be selected then.

Please feel free to bring any Shilo pictures, yearbooks and memorabilia you'd like to, we'd all like to see them. If you have pics on CD, great, ..we have a laptop and projector. Be sure to bring your camera though.

See you Friday evening!!
If you need to call me, my cel number is 604 315 0411

My heart aches for I have to say my oldest nephew (28 years)son of Christina(Oake) & Doug Colbert is no longer with us. It is a tragedy that such a young man had to take his own life to free himself from all that hurt his spirit had. Be free Freddie, be free.

Well, I can hardly wait for the 2008 Sixties Reunion in Shilo, BUT in the meantime, the Vancouver/Victoria shilobrats MINI reunion in a couple of weeks (August 31st) is shaping up to be a major blast. Thirty six shilobrats coming so far. What a turnout!!!

Hi all;
IT'S OFFICIAL!!! There will be a Shilo Sixties Brat Reunion August long weekend next year. This one will be a bit different then the 05 Sixties Reunion. In 05 you had to have been in high school in the Sixties to Attend. This time if you lived in Shio in the Sixties you can attend. This decision was arrived at right after our first committee meeting last Wednesday.

Watch for updates here and from time to time it will say in the guestbook, go to the Sixties Site for latest on the reunion. A newsletter will be emailed to everyone we have an address for. At a later date I will post who to contact to get on the email list. The first News Letter will be sent out Oct. 1st.

So mark the date down and start saving your money. It will be a fun time.

Bill Brown
Reunion Chair
