I am writing this to a very special lady, that is thoughtful and caring, in my hart and others, harts. In 2002 reunion, she had made up little houses, with candy in them.She gave them out to people. OTTER received one and he was so pleased to receive one, he wrote a little thank you letter to her on SHILO BRATS GUEST BOOK, about what this thoughtful lady had done, She must have been very special for him to that, This lady just sent one to me. That is why I am writing this, to this thoughtful lady. This special ,thoughtful lady is Karen Pollock. This is from Doug Jenkins to Karen,;;;THANK YOU KAREN

Well, Doug-if the "meatheads" had not made us take the wire down-we likely would have gone on to brilliant careers at NASA or Boeing!

However, I also recall that we were on the verge of discovering the wonders of pursuing romance with the lovely young ladies at PEHS-so that would probably have influenced our further pursuit of technical excellence!

If you believe any of this, I have land in the Florida Everglades you might be interested in purchasing!

Cheers & giggles.

Yes, you are right Bill, the whole team works tirelessly and deserves our commendation. But in the beginning when Otter was putting together site, he faltered as his physical health began to deteriorate and expenses grew, it was Faye who became the backbone of Shilobrats and her contributions kept Otter involved until the time of his death while Shilobrats lived on thanks to Faye.

One Bill Gillespie story. He and I were fascinated by electronics. So grabbing (stealing?) some of the signal wire that crisscrossed the prairie, we set up a working telegraph using our train transformers and meccano sets and if it hadn't been for the meatheads comploaining about a black wire running from his bedroom to mine, both on the second floors of our houses - well who knows what would have happened to our futures? Would Bill still have become a successful pilot? Would we both have become electrical engineers? Or maybe it was fortunate the meatheads had to demand the wire be removed. What do you think Bill?

In support of Doug J's comment regarding Faye, I totally agree that she is a critical element in the "glue" that holds this whole Shilobrats thing intact! Thank you, Faye!

Also, I never cease to be amazed at the quality of the work done by Edie in the " Life Was Calling" features. Thank you, Edie for adding a whole new dimension to the Shilobrats "thing"!

All us Brats are grateful to the entire Shilobrats Team for their time and efforts spent in maintaining this delicate web of connection that keeps our memories of our time in that special little place on the prairie alive.

That would be great Karen. Had to miss the last one to dam Niagara Falls that was coming through my basement windows. All is good now so barring the rapture, I shall attend.

I agree Doug. Faye posted on her recently published "Where Life Took You" feature the picture of the 8 of us who got together last August in Winnipeg at the Grove. I'm hoping we can all get together again sometime this summer with you and Miss Sheehan (and other Winnipeg and Brandon folks in attendance). :!clap:

Let's face it, without Faye there would be no Shilobrats. Thank you Faye; you are motivated by a spirit of unhinged generosity and I, for one, am grateful

At ShiloBrats, we call her “the reunion queen.” She has been to all the Shilo Reunions and co-created the mini-reunion movement. Wherever Faye travels, she becomes a magnet for Shilobrat gatherings, and the mini-reunion idea is now happening with Shilobrats coast to coast.
