Comments: I lived in the huts (A-1) in 1947 and in D-27 (later 75 Frontenac) and 51 Kingston and went to school in the huts and then the new PEPS building. Return posting to Shilo in 1957 where a bunch of us grade one-ers were reunited (like Lorraine Gradwell, Bev Brown.)I then lived in 23 Sapper Ave. Just wondering if there are any 1956-1959 kids still on the upper crust of the planet.they could get me at goerzenj@telus.net

Did anyone else skip class today too??
Let's discuss over a coke at the Strange Hall bowling alley.

Comments: I am giving advance notice of a Shilo Brat Reunion this summer. The date will be July 29th. Back by popular demand we will be doing a Kingston Thousand Island Dinner Cruise!!
Comments: Remembering Shilo friends no longer with us, at the beginning of each year we update our Remembering section with the names we have learned have passed. Each Remembering stone will have the year of birth (if known), the year of passing, any known brothers and sisters and their yearbook photo if available (as you knew them) or their Obit photo. Please review the pages and report any inaccuracies or help fill in missing information through the Contact form in the side menu.
Shilo was a special place for many of us in our early years, and for some, Shilo is a special place because you were born there, or in Brandon to parents posted in Shilo.
ShiloBornBrats section has also been updated.
ShiloBornBrats has been created to give recognition to our home grown brat pack by assembling a page of trivia for each year we have a ShiloBornBrat name for.
If you or a brother or sister were born when your family lived in Shilo, and your name does not appear in that year, please contact ShiloBrats to be included, your name and year will be added.
I don't know how many times I have heard it said “I knew them, but I didn't know they were born in Shilo” or just go there to find out what was going on in the world when you were born.

Comments: Lived in Shilo 1967-73. Lived on 1 Esquimalt, (on the corner of Kingston Avenue). Anyone who lived there during those years would remember the duplex all lit up at Christmas time with a lit star on the roof. I did grade 6 at Kelly School and then over to PEHS until I finished grade 10.
