Hi Lynn (Mills),
I do remember you very well Lynn. Yes, our fathers served in the 3RCHA together. I remember being in N.B. I also remember being in the same class with you in Grade 4 in Hemer, Germany. I still have the yearbook from Germany. Then we met up again in Shilo in 71 & 72. Wow a lot of great memories! Good to hear from you, all the way from England. I will send you an email sometime this week. I hope all is well with you. In the meantime take care and will chat later.

Hi! David (Wesley)
In response to your message. I remember you I sat next to you in Grade 1 when we were living in Oromocto NB in 1959 I think our fathers were in the 3RCHA. I remember being at school with you in Hemer Germany 1960-63 and then again in Shilo 1970-72. I have been living in England since 1972. Hope life has treated you well.

Hi. My name is Don MacLeod, and I lived in Shilo for only one year. Even though it was a short stay I have many fond memories from that time. I was in grade 12 along with my brother Ken, and I believe we lived on Kingston ave(not sure) right beside the Johnston family, who had a daughter Roberta, whon my brother KEN latter married. I remember the school PEHS, the arena, the teen town with the bands every week. The school sports under the direction of Mr. Bender,
That was a great year!

Hi, My name is David Wesley. I lived in the PMQ’s at 87 Frontenac Cres and went to PEHS for grade 11 & 12, years 1971 and 1972. After graduation in 1972 dad retired and we moved back to Winnipeg. I really enjoyed my last years of high school in Shilo, met many people that became friends. I would really enjoy to hear from anyone who went to school during those years. I have been to one reunion. I think it was in 1983. It has been many years. I will surely attend if there is one in 2020. I would really like to see some of the old gang. (Shilo Brats)

We are not getting any younger and everyone seemed to enjoy the reunion so Boyd and I have discussed another one in 2020 and are open to comments, good or bad. Print them in the guestbook for all to see.

Good Morning, Gerald,

What a pleasure it was to see so many ‘grade 10’s’ and other students and teachers at the recent Shilo re-union!

I was over-whelmed at meeting so many nice people I hadn’t seen in, dare I say, over fifty years!

The music, the camaraderie, the loop of photos from previous re-unions, the memories! It was wonderful.

A big thank you to all those who organized and carried out the event! And thank you, too, for the flowers which were presented to all the teachers who turned up. I’ll be looking forward to the next re-union!

Sincerely,

Iris McKay

I too would have liked to attend the reunion but like David (Hi Dave) I did not know about it. I would most definitely get myself there for a reunion in 2020 if one were by chance arranged. I have been browsing through the pics both here and on the facebook page and was glad to see Ms Sheehan is still with us. My ears are still burning from the blast she gave me for taking off from the field trip to "The Peg", I think it was probably 1970 or 71, my family moved away after 10 years in the bush. I tried going back to school in the new town but it was not for me. I joined the Navy in 72 and spent 36 years flop cocking around the oceans of the world in service to this great land of ours. I truly loved Shilo even though I got the hell beat outta me on a regular basis. I have so many memories including wandering the Q's with Dave listening to his boom box (tape deck?). Good times wonderful memories including the black eyes, split lips and broken nose. Oh to go riding at the Diamond J one more time.
