I just want to post that Ivan Traill passed away at age 90 yesterday.

I am heartbroken that my mentor has moved on to chase after reptiles and look for arrowheads and teach angels in a new plane.

God speed Ivan, I'm sipping a wee scotch whiskey right now you meant so much to me.

WE DID IT! a year of planning, prodding and promoting pays off. We issued the Re-Reunion Challenge to return for a reunion, reunite with your siblings, reunite with your friends, reunite as base brats from Shilo, it didn't matter what time period you lived there, we all had relatively the same experience. Thank you for responding. There were 3 major events, a Friday night Meet & Greet and a Saturday retro-night dance in Winnipeg, then a Sunday return to Shilo reunion. All were well attended and successful. The full story is being prepared as a Special Edition feature you can view here, watch for it …

All the Reunion 2022 attention has been on the Main Event, that's the carrot to pay the bills, to cover the Reunion expenses including the Friday Night Meet & Greet for which there is no charge. Thank you Shilobrats, we will be able to do that, and yes there is still room for more but register soon.

The REAL Reunion is the Friday night Meet & Greet. This is where you reconnect in the relaxed atmosphere of a sprawling courtyard style foyer with different areas to gather, sit, stand, wander, have conversations without the challenge of background noise or other distractions. There is a separate bar for refreshments and other areas of the hotel, restaurant and tavern nearby, should you want to gather with your friends after. There is no pre registration, no charge. Please sign the Guestbook and wear your name sticker so we know you were here and who you are. Stay as long or as short as you like at this informal gathering that is the REAL Reunion.

Then if you are inspired to come to the fun night The Way We Were main event, tickets will still be available. WARNING! You could run into yourself from fifty years ago if you attend. :!giggle:

It doesn't take much to activate some of those old songs in your head, and some of those old songs carry fond memories of our younger years. One of the pleasant surprises of ageing is they don't get left behind, we carry them with us forever, and once in a while they get loose.

Shilobrat reunions will do that,

Reunion 2022 will be a one night only Time Machine that will return you to the Way We Were.

You gotta come, This is the One!

Time is ticking down and registrations are ticking up. The new format of combining Winnipeg and Shilo for a Shilobrats Reunion worked out in 2018, so we are doing it again for all those who missed a great reunion and those who want to come back. Winnipeg is more accessible from other provinces for travel and accommodation and more of you settled in this area after Shilo. Better still, the Reunion hotel amenities allow the reunion to carry on between events whether you are staying there or not. It's a double-barrelled reunion, reuniting friends and classmates from your Shilo days, and reuniting with Shilo, how has it changed? Come find out. This is the one!

I’ve been catching up with all the wonderful information our Reunion 2022 Executive has been extending to Shilobrats, in the hopes of them attending the 2022 Reunion to be held in Winnipeg in June. I attended the 2018 reunion, and had a wonderful time catching up with many of the students I went to school with from 1964-68. So many of my classmates were there, although others were unable to make it. We missed you!
A huge thank you to Edith for her skills on the computer. You never cease to amaze me.
Unfortunately, I will not be attending the weekend due to other commitments, but my hope is that Reunion 2022 is a huge success, and that all of the Executive’s endeavours pay off in a well received and well attended reunion. You won’t be disappointed! Have a wonderful time. I’ll be thinking of you.
