Comments: Faye and Bill Brown - thanks for your input. Denise didn't want a big whoop-dee-doo, just a luncheon meeting for some of us who attended the mini in Winnipeg in August last year, and others who were interested or couldn't come last year. So Denise has talked to Mr. Brown again, and he is available on Nov. 13th and 19th. We thought of going to somewhere central-ish, licensed, and generic, (like Olive Garden near Polo Park) about 1 PM after the noon rush. So far, with Gerry Brown (and his guest), Denise, and me (and my guest), that would be 5. Is anyone else interested in joining us on either of these days. Denise just wants a number so she can make a reservation. Please let me know on e-mail, Shilobrats, or FB in the next 2 weeks - Karen P. (like Reagan - the Great Communicator).

Comments: Karen, if you and Denise could co-steer a shilobrats reunion for the summer of 2017, I promise to be of significant help, still having my files from the last major reunion in the summer of 2005. Important to have someone fairly local, for the bookings for the event. Bill Brown is anxiously looking for a chairperson, and Doug Jordan is willing to help out. Faye
Comments: Denise van Rooyen (Pike) has been in touch with Mr. Brown, and he will not be available to attend a mini-reunion on Oct. 22, so we will cancel it for now. I had one reply from a brat from Halifax who could not make the trip, and one promise to attend from a local man (a brat who lived in Shilo from 1959-1963 and was enthusiastic about meeting up with some old friends). But we are still open to attend a reunion at some time in the future if someone else is interested in arranging one.
Comments: i remember Shilo well.lots of fond and some not so fond memories.if u would like to drop me a line i would love to hear from some of u.has anyone heard from Dorrie Crawford?
Comments: My long time friend and fellow Shilobrat, Denise van Rooyen (Pike) has been in contact with Mr. Gerald Brown about having a mini-reunion (luncheon) of Shilobrats on either October 20 or 22 (when Mr. Brown is available), before the snow flies and the Christmas rush gets underway. Denise is not a computer person, but she is very much a "phone" person (#204-694-6850). We hope that people who were unable to attend the previous reunion in Aug., 2014 can attend, and hopefully Mr. Brown can convince a certain teacher to come. Right now I would like to get some idea of who would be interested in coming, which date is preferable, and maybe a preference for a restaurant in Winnipeg. Please let me know on Facebook, Shilobrats, or e-mail (or phone Denise) if you are interested in coming, so she can make a reservation. Hope to have a number of folks (with significant others) attend, even from Brandon, Portage, or Selkirk.

Comments: The article on Greenwood School was excellent. Thank you. I attended grade 5 (1969 Mrs. Archibald) grade 6 (1970 Mrs. Brow) and grade 7 (1971 Home Room -Mr. Johnson - English; Mr. Smith - science, Mr. Crandle - geography, and Mr. Barry - math) Mr. Bender was our gym teacher. Lots of wonderful memories. My late father was Major Frank Smith and we had been posted from Winnipeg to Camp Shilo. our next posting was Windsor Ontario. I recently retired from teaching (librarian) in Windsor and Detroit Michigan.
