Comments: When Judy Hummel asked Edie if she could do a print version of the Reunion 2018 Special Edition posted on ShiloBrats, Edie found it could conveniently be produced as a coffee table quality book for a reasonable price at her local Costco photo service. It also allowed her to add additional photos from the 60's to further enhance the stories. So much better than trying to read all the copy online, and easier to show friends and family when telling them what a great weekend it was. The books are produced to order and can be picked up and paid for at your local Costco (for members) or ordered and mailed to you by Edie. For details and order information, see What's New.

Comments: Hi all
We have decided to move the Boat Cruise to Gananoque. Gan is only 18 miles from Kingston.
The date of the cruise will now be July 26th. The boat line is called Gananoque Boat Lines and the Hotel is Howard Johnson’s if you want to look them up.
Cruise is $49.95 plus tax for a two hour cruise dinner and entertainment. To book Gananoque Boat Lines # 888-717-4837, which boards at 6:30 pm on July 26th .The entertainment is oldies music and they are good, I have seen them before.
The hotel $114 and up depending on the room you want. Hotel is Howard Johnson's 613-417-1215 use this instead of 800 # Room Rates 2 queens $114 2 queens deluxe $143 3 queens $159. We want to be in the building that is closest to the office.
YOU MUST!!! Look after booking your cruise and room. When booking your cruise and hotel you MUST book it in the next two weeks in order to save a spot on the boat and in the hotel. This is a very busy tourist town! We have asked them to hold 10 rooms for now.
So come on brats get your brat holiday booked!!!
If you don’t book early you could be swimming alongside the boat or sleeping in the park.
Please let me know if you will be attending

Comments: Condolences to the family of Bessie Marie Hill, who taught in Shilo from 1962-65. She passed away in Deer Lodge Hospital on 30 March 2019 at age 85 years. Rest in peace, dear friend.
I haven't been posting much at all on this wonderful and important site and I missed a wonderful Winnipeg reunion. I have been dealing with cancer of the esophagus for several years.
I'm doing okay at the moment and hope to be out checking on our mascots, my skink buddies, this summer.
Comments: Erro[ stroke confirmed. He is at St. Boniface Hosp. Once we learn his condition, we (me and my son, Greg's former agent) will visit him and keep you all up to date

Comments: I've just heard from my sister Karen that Greg Leskiw has suffered a stroke. Does anyone have confirmation concerning this?
Comments: Hi My name is Suzanne (Sue) Perron and I lived in Shilo at the age of 7-8-9.. My four brothers and I, Paul, Art, Bob and baby Mike, lived in Shilo from 1956 to 1959. My dad was CO, Colonel A C Perron and we lived at 17 Sapper. It was the CO residence at the time as the current one was not built yet. Sapper was the last street in the camp as the entrance was from the other side of camp. Our back yard gave onto the prairie where we often picnicked amongst 3 rows of small pine tries, probably recently planted. I remember when the prairie was full of colourful crocuses in spring. I think it is farm land now I guess. We also played on the huge snow banks on the road leading to the small airport and parachute practice jump (it was a dirt road). I am wondering about my best friends from those days. Maybe you have a list of members. We all lived on Sapper : Jane Liston, Jean Carpenter, Joceline Amireault, Jacky Malory, Jane Hipwell, Vivian Drury ... Anyways, if you have any leads let me know. Also I have a few pictures but don't know how to attach them here!
Comments: I remember Janice and I only ran into her in Winnipeg a few times. She was a beautiful person and the very definition of a free spirit. my condolences to her family
