Hello. I just found out about this site. My family lived in Shilo in 1966-67. We lived on Frontenac Cres. I went to O'Kelly. Frasiers lived in the other side of the Duplex with us. Except for the haircuts, it was a great place to grow up as a kid.

Yes Faye, I did actually meet & marry (Aug. 4, 1979) my military sweetheart in Shilo. Thanks to fellow army brat, Barb Scott-Gilfoy & her then military boyfriend, Dennis Tomlin. They hooked us up on a blind date almost 35 years ago (Feb. 21, 1976). Bob Rabideau has been the love of my life ever since.

Some of us who were in elementary school in the early 60's (while Greenwood school was under construction) attended temporary schools in H-huts called D-5 and A-2--I think they were officially part of PEPS (at least that's what my report cards say). Both have disappeared without a trace.
My dad also used the term "CB'd" (confined to barracks). I never heard the expression "grounded" until we lived in a civilian community.

in Germany one of the army words were "living on the economy" when you didn'thave enough points to get a P M Q . maybe that was everywhere but I was just thinking about how many Points you had to have to get a house PMQ
We moved alot in such a short time, in my 14 years before we got posted to Soest Germany in 1965, we were in Shilo, Petawawa,Shilo. The Peg, Shilo; and then Ottawa for a year. That was a lot of packing for my Mum.lol She would just get unpacked and everything in order and Dad would come home and say " let's go you got 2 months". I can see her face today. LOL

"I'm still trying to discover what makes Shilo so special" ... what about the road hockey, after dark in the street lights, minus 30 but you were still sweating. Kids showed up and disappeared throughout and you just played for the side that was down a player. Great memories!
