Comments: WOW! Nice new webpage. Thanks so much for keeping this going. I always enjoy checking in to see who signs in and have been reconnected with several friends from the 70's. All the work that has been put into this website - past and present to future - is much appreciated and always a joy to look back on.

Comments: Glenn, really happy to see you again and hear you're going to be active. It sounds like I'll have to create a new catagory called ShiloBrats Confidential. We did start this off with a soap opera. You and I could fill up the rest of the server space with just our stories alone.
A point for other brats, After you have been through the site several times to take it all in, many return on a regular basis to see new activity in the Guestbook and Forum. The Forum was renamed ShiloBrats-InterActive! to encourage activity there. These features are only going to be as active and interesting as you make them. It just can't always be the Bucky and Jinks show. Right now the last activity to take place in the Forum was by wood ticks, talk about Interactive!...and the reason for Dr. J to come on board?...even I couldn't stand seeing the name Jinks on the board so often, so I post as Dr. J for ShiloBrats business.
Glenn was the biggest practical joker in school and and I'm sure there is a lot more input for School Daze and all the catagories for that matter. I really hope you have sparked something here Glenn, the more activity, the more response. Our desire is to see ShiloBrats become fresh, fun, interesting, entertaining, informative and InterActive!
About a current photo, I first posted as Dr. J with one then changed it to demontrate another feature of the forum site, so for you I will put it back. Be active and challenge others to respond...aahhh...who am I again?

Comments: The world is but one country, and mankind its citizens. And the Shilo Brats exemplify this in spades. Being army brats, some hardly had time to get their feet on the ground before dad was posted off to some other God forsaken place in the middle of no where. But everyone who ever spent time in Shilo knows well that service kids don't get to make friends over a 12 or 13 year period while going to school. Three years was an average back in the 50's and 60's. But for some strange reason we seemed to pack a lot more friendship and memories into those limited years just because we knew time was short.
I am long on memories of Shilo and eager to see pictures and hear tales of where my old friends have been.
To Dr. J (Ken Jenkins, Jinx)I thank you for your kind words about my first attempt to post and ask that you make up for being out of my life for so long by posting a picture. I have you in my mind in a little league uniform, and a scout uniform, and believe me friends I could tell you some stories about the antics of people like Ken and Bruce Bowman and Byron Brown and a lot of other. In fact I think that is just what I will do from time to time. Stir up a few memories. Like the time we were sneaking around on the roof of PEPS and came across a certain pair of teachers in a position that... well you know what I mean. Or how we would rankle the teachers by banging on the pipes while crawling through the heat ducts under the school. We put on track suites so as not to get dirty. It worked every time. Teachers knew it was us but could never prove it.
Does anyone want to hear a few tales of yore?

Comments: What can I say. A day late (more like several years) and a dollar short. I just found this wonderful site and boy did the memories come flooding back. I took a look at my grade 10 and 11 pictures, 67 & 68 and realized how geeky I really looked.
Thanks for the memories. Ron
