Comments: Hello Tim. It was nice to hear from you here in the guestbook. I chummed around alot with your brother Ken,and your sister Arlene, both in Douglas and then in Shilo. We moved to Ottawa in 1968 and it was heartbreaking to hear of Ken's passing. I hope your whole family is doing well, and gee, I'd like to connect with Arlene!
Comments: I would like to thank you for creating this truly amazing web site. I have been wandering around the site for the past month now and have been just overwhelmed by the joy, memories and finally grief the site has bought me. The joy comes from reconnecting with Dave Wesley and Barry Parent after decades have passed, the memories comes on almost every page of the year books and all of the different web pages throughout the site and finally the grief comes from stumbling on a picture of my brother Ken in 1966 Condita Yearbook-pg25. I have not seen that picture since I left home to join the Navy in 1972. Ken was killed in a motorcycle accident in Winnipeg on the 28th of July 1969. He had only recently been married and his wife was 3 months pregnant with their young son appropriately named Ken. If at all possible I would absolutely appreciate it if you could put the picture of Ken Spring in the Remembering section. Also I got to see a picture of my younger brother Wayne Spring, a mention of my youngest brother Leonard Spring, multiple pictures of my cousins Barbara Huston, Beverly Huston, Valerie Huston and Dave Huston. It has bought me incredible pleasure seeing the people I grew up with and remembering my 10 years in one the most awesome places a young person could experience.

Comments: Hi Lynn (Mills), I do remember you very well Lynn. Yes, our fathers served in the 3RCHA together. I remember being in N.B. I also remember being in the same class with you in Grade 4 in Hemer, Germany. I still have the yearbook from Germany. Then we met up again in Shilo in 71 & 72. Wow a lot of great memories! Good to hear from you, all the way from England. I will send you an email sometime this week. I hope all is well with you. In the meantime take care and will chat later.
Comments: Hi! David (Wesley) In response to your message. I remember you I sat next to you in Grade 1 when we were living in Oromocto NB in 1959 I think our fathers were in the 3RCHA. I remember being at school with you in Hemer Germany 1960-63 and then again in Shilo 1970-72. I have been living in England since 1972. Hope life has treated you well.
Comments: Hi. My name is Don MacLeod, and I lived in Shilo for only one year. Even though it was a short stay I have many fond memories from that time. I was in grade 12 along with my brother Ken, and I believe we lived on Kingston ave(not sure) right beside the Johnston family, who had a daughter Roberta, whon my brother KEN latter married. I remember the school PEHS, the arena, the teen town with the bands every week. The school sports under the direction of Mr. Bender, That was a great year!

Comments: Hi, My name is David Wesley. I lived in the PMQ’s at 87 Frontenac Cres and went to PEHS for grade 11 & 12, years 1971 and 1972. After graduation in 1972 dad retired and we moved back to Winnipeg. I really enjoyed my last years of high school in Shilo, met many people that became friends. I would really enjoy to hear from anyone who went to school during those years. I have been to one reunion. I think it was in 1983. It has been many years. I will surely attend if there is one in 2020. I would really like to see some of the old gang. (Shilo Brats)
