Comments: I guess our family spent a total of seven Christmas's in Shilo on Frontenac, on Quebec and "outside the gate" in Sprucewoods. They were wonderful. I wish all shilobrats a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous new year. Nobody has come forward yet to work on a 2017 reunion, but... there's still time! Make it a New Years resolution to help bring Shilobrats together one more time.
Comments: It is that time of the year that I often think of the days in Shilo and my friends. A time of great memories and very little worries. And this is what I wish for every one in the New Year. Be Safe. Cheers Turk

Comments: Sorry you use a lot of bandwidth/page length, but this is a poem that our eldest daughter sent over today. I don't know who is author, or when it was written, but this is probably one of the best places it could be posted.
Our elder son-in-law is Capt Brendan Clancy, now attached to the Battle School and still a full time firefighter in Saskatoon. Their two boys, Hudson (4 1/2) and Kenton (2 1/2) are growing like weeds and are with us several days a week while Mom teaches preschool and music. Our baby (Dr. Meghan Clark) just had a baby (her first) Adisson Alexia three months ago, so life here is pretty good.
A very Merry Christmas to all brats and families, and our best wishes in the New Year.
I will have to post the poem on another entry, as it takes the post over the allowable limit

Comments: Hi Rick The Martims were long time Shilo. Early like us but we left in say '60. they lived across the street and a few houses down from us. We were #7 Ubique. The Whitimgs were probably there and then gone before you then. Or possibly relocated to other PMQ in Camp. ...That memory escapes me. ....They were very good Ubique friends. We were in Shilo from beginning and started in H hut lodgings and then were in a small PMQ across Camp and moved to Uboqie soon as larger homes were built. I hung out with the Martin boys. The Finlays and had other friends on different streets. Kids from school. Chris Evoy was one name comes to mind. Some French family kids were friends. Not on my street. Their names escape me now. Of course we had chums from all over Camp. Some friends were out on the economy from farms around Camp. Friends in Doiglas as well as Nrandon and around. ...Carberry and so on.
Comments: hi bump Do not remember the Whiteings,,but remember Larry Martin...probably lived near you on that side of the street..

Comments: Howdy Rick Cowan. Say Rick do you remember the Whiteings? I think they lived in same bldg. as you or maybe they were there first and you moved in when they were posted. I remember Larry and Margeret. Went to school with them. Their name popped into my head as soon as you wrote. I like the Shilo site for that. Old memories and names come back from the cobwebs of my mind. On another note: Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all. From the Murphy family.
