I think most of us are from the 60s. How old were you in the 60s Peter.
I left Shilo in 1968 at the age of 17 (almost). :!thinking:

Hi all;

I wholeheartedly agree with Faye's comments about all the hard work the web page people do. As mentioned, there is Edie, Lonnie, Ken and last but not least Faye. Faye is the leader of the committee. Faye is a consummate brat, her and I are always talking about organising events. With all of us getting older and frailer the chances of a reunion in Shilo are kinda slim the way I see it. There is no reason we can't continue to have regional reunions. So come on people get out there and organise !!

I lived in Shilo from 72-77. Would love to hear from anyone I went to school with. I'm also on the Shilo facebook group.

I retired after 25 years in the air force and live in Edmonton.

CFB Shilo will always be special to me. It's amazing that I remember almost everyone I come across from Shilo, even though I have forgotten friends from other places. I'm so glad my parents settled in Brandon; it has brought me to Shilo many times, for many reunions, and to walk around the places I rode my bike, went to school, became best friends, and drove my dad's car for the first time.
We need another reunion, an open one, for some of us, maybe for the last time. 1983, 1988, 1992, 1998, 2005 and 2010... I only missed one. but pray for another.
I am honoured to continue to be on the Shilobrats web team and want to thank Lonnie Frankow, Ken Jenkins and Edith Walker (Mullen) for keeping us in touch. Nice job on the New Years pictures!!

Well now this is unusual for me to miss a Christmas Day posting here.

My wife asked me yesterday. " Did you ever have two Christmas Dinners in one day?" I said right away, "Yes I had two Christmas Dinners in Shilo one year. One at home and one at a lady friend of mine. I will keep her name a secret."

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight, until New Years.
