I too would have liked to attend the reunion but like David (Hi Dave) I did not know about it. I would most definitely get myself there for a reunion in 2020 if one were by chance arranged. I have been browsing through the pics both here and on the facebook page and was glad to see Ms Sheehan is still with us. My ears are still burning from the blast she gave me for taking off from the field trip to "The Peg", I think it was probably 1970 or 71, my family moved away after 10 years in the bush. I tried going back to school in the new town but it was not for me. I joined the Navy in 72 and spent 36 years flop cocking around the oceans of the world in service to this great land of ours. I truly loved Shilo even though I got the hell beat outta me on a regular basis. I have so many memories including wandering the Q's with Dave listening to his boom box (tape deck?). Good times wonderful memories including the black eyes, split lips and broken nose. Oh to go riding at the Diamond J one more time.

Good Morning, Gerald,
What a pleasure it was to see so many ‘grade 10’s’ and other students and teachers at the recent Shilo re-union!
I was over-whelmed at meeting so many nice people I hadn’t seen in, dare I say, over fifty years!
The music, the camaraderie, the loop of photos from previous re-unions, the memories! It was wonderful.
A big thank you to all those who organized and carried out the event! And thank you, too, for the flowers which were presented to all the teachers who turned up. I’ll be looking forward to the next re-union!
Sincerely,
Iris McKay
