Comments: 1964, used to hang out with friends at the Coffee Shop after school, always had a cheeseburger, fries and milkshake, then go over to GSH for a game of pool, maybe take a book out of the library, watch a bunch of giddy adults throw gutter balls at the Bowling Alley (was a pin setter there once) and return every couple of nights to watch the new movie at the theatre.
Shilo Homecoming 2010 brings it all back, the Meet n’ Greet at the Canex Canteen, (army slang for Coffee Shop) the final visit to PEHS before it is demolished, a tour of General Strange Hall and dinner at the Golf Club. (remember having peanuts there as a junior) then a visit the next day to Waggle Springs, private property now, but the owner gave permission.
Edie has created a new Special Edition to highlight the Shilo Homecoming 2010 and a new album has been added to the Gallery featuring all the West mini-gatherings

Comments: BTW, I was looking through the "sports" photos today, and noticed a name that rang a familiar bell: LINDA HOLMES. The memory-banks, although somewhat rusty, began to compute -- Linda Holmes was in my class at QE School in Grade 3 or 4 (Miss Warner's class?) Does anyone know where Linda Holmes is nowadays? And where did Pearl Standard get to? I always thought that she had a great name!

Comments: I haven't visited the Brats site for a few weeks until today, but everytime I *do* visit, I am impressed by the professionalism and all the work that obviously goes into this wonderful time-capsule that chronicles several generations of Shilo Brats! GREAT WORK, and congratulations to everyone who helps to make ShiloBrats the Memories Shrine that it is!!!
