Hi Shilo Brats especially those from the last half of the 60s. A few days ago I attended the funeral of Corporal David Braun,a member of the 2bat PPCLI who was stationed in Shilo but killed by a suicide bomber in Afganistan. His Sister works in our office. A powerpoint presentation at his funeral reminded me that he was just like all of us when we were teenagers growing up in Shilo.He was full of fun and would have fit in with us just great. It also made me think that the reason we had so much fun in Shilo as kids was because the generation before us[our fathers and mothers]did what was necessary to stop the Nazi and Japanese power mongers so that we could have a life. I wonder if they had the same do gooders and anti everything jerks calling them names too. Thank God for the David Brauns of the world and our Fathers and Grandfathers. I wish my Dad and many of yours were still here so I could say a BIG thank you to them for making my life so much better and also to David Braun for protecting the future for my kids and Grandkids. I am proud of Canada and its Armed Forces. If we have another reunion I think we should march to the Shilo Headquarters and say Thank You to all the Soldiers. Take care and enjoy what they fought for.

Hi Tony, I'm not sure if you remember me but I do remember you guys. I am really sorry to hear about Pam. I saw her picture in the memory section of the Province and was really shocked. It's seems kind of strange as I had cut out a clipping from a business magazine that had a picture of Pam in it. I recognized her and that she lived in Vancouver. I thought maybe one day I might bump into her, but that never happened as Vancouver is quite big.

I just want to send my condolences and hope that you all take care. Thinking of you and your family on this sad occassion.

Shirl

Turk, Pamela Jane, of Vancouver, BC, died at the age of 48 after a courageous battle with cancer. Pam was born in Winnipeg where her father was stationed as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. As an army brat she grew up in Shilo, Winnipeg, Oromocto and in Germany and as a child she could never understand how someone could be happy having lived in “only one place”. Her many addresses as a child instilled in her a love of travel that she carried with her throughout her life. After attending UBC, Pam worked in the Canadian investment industry for more than 25 years finishing her career as associate director at Scotia McLeod. Pam was a recognized leader and an inspiration to all that knew her. She was known for the competence and professionalism that earned her much advancement throughout her career, from receptionist to compliance officer, then sales assistant and, for the past several years, regional and national administrative roles. Pam championed the people who worked with her. She trained and mentored countless young people who entered the investment industry and many continued to call on her for advice and guidance throughout their careers. Pam was a positive, beautiful force. Her spirit was so big, her energy so infectious that over the years she attracted a great many friends, colleagues, clients and others, who appreciated her vitality, her warmth, her great sense of humor, her loyalty and her honesty. Pam faced her illness with the same courage and matter-of-factness with which she faced every challenge and she lived her life to the fullest. She treasured time with John and with her family and all her friends and, although she never suffered fools, her bright spark brightened the days of virtually everyone who came in contact with her.

Pam was predeceased by her father, Tom. She is survived by her beloved husband, John Newell, her mother, Jeanne Turk, her sister, Lesley (Don Ferguson), her brothers Tony (Lorrie Siemens) and Michael (Margie), her step-children Hayley, Anthony and Emily Newell. Pam was the special aunt of Jasmine and she loved all of her nieces and nephews, Carol, Christine, Donny, Sandra and Thomas and great nieces and nephews Caitlyn, Bizzy, Camille, Zachary and Ethan.

Pam’s friends are invited to celebrate her life at 6:30 p.m., Friday, September 22 at Hollyburn Country Club, 950 Crosscreek Road, West Vancouver, BC

In lieu of flowers, to honour Pam memorial gifts may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, …..

Just touching base. Had some computer problems, lost most things, but new computer is in place and we are up and running again. New E-mail address as well, so if anybody was trying to contact me, please do so at the new address. Hope all is well with everyone from all eras. I guess I'll include the teachers as well(just kidding). I couldn't have made it this far without them.

Hello brats! summer is over, and the ShiloBrats site team are ready to launch a new look and the beginning of many new additions to this already amazing site.

ShiloBrats hasn't been upgraded for a while now because it simply ran out of space on the old server. Our site has been moved to a new server with additional space and is now ready to activate new additions, photos and memories of Shilo alumni.

Next week a new Home Page will alert you to the beginning of a continuing program to keep ShiloBrats fresh, entertaining, and more interactive as *The Place to Call Our Own*...so keep visiting and watch for Guestbook announcements alerting you to new additions.

...and don't be shy, the Guestbook was meant to be lively, what brings you back, and what would you like to see added, tell us here!

Otterkins - Didn't know it was your birthday, so belated "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" So, sorry, but I didn't know when your birthday was until I went on the site and I guess you have never really told me. My friends never forget my birthday as I was born on "Ground Hog Day" (Feb 2) and get a lot of joking about how many weeks of winter are left..........
