Comments: Thanks Alan, sometimes when visiting Shilobrats come to Vancouver Island, the call goes out for a gathering. This time Faye Helgason coming to Victoria, and the gathering was at “happy hour” in the Waddling Dog Inn on the Saanich Peninsula just outside Victoria. Sixteen Shilobrats and spouses came by from all parts of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Vancouver to join in … Faye, Wayne and Margaret Helgason, Mel & Judy (Hummel) Rioux, Keith & Gloria (Johnson) Hummel, George & Pat (Wiesgerber) Wolchuk, Ken Jenkins, Cheryl McNeil, Linda Smith, Clancy Robinson, Alan & Louise Stickley and Don Round. It was a 'happy hour' indeed. (maybe they should just call us 'west coast Newfies')

Comments: I'm on a western jaunt this summer. Working mostly on my family history books. However, on 10 July (Wed), I had a wonderful visit with David and Elaine Higgins in Spruce Grove. Dave is in the process of retiring from his surveying business. Anyone interested in buying it ? WE had a grand time talking about his Grade VIII with me in PEPS in 1961-62. Some of your ears should have been burning. Wonderful stories. Thanks for the wonderful welcome.

Comments: So sorry to hear the sad news about Greg. It sounds like he needs a group prayer or whatever you believe to support Greg, in his recovery.

Comments: Info on Greg L. Not good news. Heard recently that Greg is home and working with a physio. His speech and movements are a problem and there is some doubt that he will ever play again. We will keep him in our good thoughts
