Comments: Hi Ian I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your little brother Andy. Condolences to the family!!!
Comments: Ian, so sorry my friend, Andy and I worked together in the CE section in 74-75 and we hung around together, I was military and we partied together quite a bit. We kept in contact over the years and just recently had a chat thru FB. I will miss him for sure
Comments: I regret to advise the Shilobrats community of the passing of my younger brother, Andrew (Andy) Malcolm. My "little brother" lived in Shilo and then Brandon from 1965 for over 20 years. He attended PEHS where he starred as an excellent all round athlete in football, hockey and golf. Andrew lived life as hard as he could and went out as he preferred. I will miss him but never forget.
He asked me to inform his old friends from the Shilo days and this seemed the best way to honour that request. Condolences are not required but if you have a story about Andy feel free to comment. Life can bring pain but my brother did his best to enjoy his moment.
Comments: if you are interested in a 50, 60, 70 and, probably 80's reunion in 2020 (Aug long weekend), email me your name, year of graduation and city. Boyd and I have been throwing some ideas around, but we need some numbers before proceeding. 80's will depend on a committee's decision, taking numbers into account.

Comments: I lived on Larkhill in the early 50’s. My Dad was RSM Jack Stevens and mom was Eva. My sister Lesly and I were 5 and 10 when we moved there. I have fond memories of the Celli family and the Goertzen’s who lived on our street.

Comments: Bump: I remember those inkwells and the hole in the desk to hold them. Blotters were an absolute necessity, especially for fumblers like me. I treated my first ballpoint like gold because they were not cheap. They sold for over $12 when first produced. Now, good ones, are given away by my physio as advertising. I have more than a few with his name and address on them.
Edie, I would like to see that card just to admire the penmanship. In my condition, my signature changes every 5 minutes or so!

Comments: Hi Edie. ...I cannot recall putting my sign on a School library book. in Camp Shilo. I did however learn to write my ‘letters’ in lined notebooks at my desk which had been constructed with a very neat hole on top right side I believe (I was a lefty). In the beginning of an early school year we were introduced to the wonders of the inkwell/blue ink and a nib pen. ...Saw my first very messy fountain pen. Soon after I saw my first ball point pen on sale in the Canteen/Post office over by the Sports Palace. They were PaperMate * * * ...When I left High School in Bedford NS I went into RCAF and eventually in ‘67 was on site in Fire Hall at CFB Comox BC. Well by that time all Fire Halls had Color TV’s as standard issue although they had no NATO numbers. We paid for them via the Fire Crew canteen fund. ....Then on my color tv commercials appeared and lo and behold in lovely color was a young Bobby Orr on ice in his Boston Colors doing a slap shot. His hockey stick had a hole in middle of the blade and a ‘ newfangled’ bic pen was attached and he was spouting about how great bic * * * were. They would last forever. Chuckle. Another tiny bit of trivia. I often wonder if his bic commercial was the inspiration for the ‘ Everready Bunny’ clapping that cymbal.
