Comments: Hi all you Sixties Brats out there!!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and pray you have a healthy New Year!!
For those making travel plans this summer, there will be a mini reunion in Kingston this summer, possibly the weekend before the Civic Holiday. It would be great to see people drop in on their travels, as well as the ones who don't have so far to travel.
Look to this webpage for further details.

Comments: Hi, I just found this site, what a visit down memory lane. Lived in Shilo during my teen years. 1962-65. Recognized most names and faces. Wish I had known about the reunion I would of come for sure. My parents were Capt. Paul and Doris Robitaille. Saddened to read about all our departed friends, many were close friends growing up. So happy I came across this site and renewed my happy memories growing up in Shilo. Lois

Comments: English surnames were derived from your position in life or the type of work you were involved in. A blacksmith evolved to Smith, a person who milled grain for flour was a Miller. The process of milling resulted in a lot of dust, hence the nickname Dusty.

Comments: Hi. will Murphy here again. Hi Floyd. As I mentioned before in these posts Our family lived on Ubique Ave.. Your family and ours were friends. I was born 1948. We left Shilo in late 1960. I certainly remember the Hamer family name. Floyd as a young boy I recall more than one birthday party with the kids. I remember your Mum would put nickels or quarters or some coinage in the birthday cakes. Wrapped in wax paper. ....Birthday parties in Shilo were always fun. ... I went on to Air Force in Fire Fighter ..Crash Rescue..
Ditto on the Happy New Year. Happy and Healthy to be sure.CFB
