Gosh. You's Guy's. ...... I was born in 1948. I was in nursery School in old 'H' huts when houses on streets like Ubique were darn new. We lived in the huts when we first went to Camp Shilo. Then on to kindergarten. All of my early schooling was there until we left in around 1960 ish. We had a smaller house across camp until we got into #7 Ubique. ....I cannot recall the name of one teacher from those days. only one or two teachers from NS. I attended up to Gr.11 there but left to enlist in AF. in 1966. I completed Gr.12 and then some in BC at CFB Comox. I remember most teachers there. Shilo teachers are a blank. My younger brother Larry tells me the same story. ....I remember much about Shilo for sure but not teachers names or faces. Chuckle. My brothers and sisters always called me a teachers pet or Apple polisher.

Ian: No, the poor Ghia suffered from tinworm and I left it in the South when we went North. However, the follow-on car - Scirocco - is in the yard at the farm (both a first gen and second gen version - both ice race cars). Some things never change. Hard to think I have been a VW enthusiast and racer for a half a century!!!!!! I don't have the same motorbike, but I lost count on how many I have in the shop and parked in containers on farm. My sidekick, Arch, is still doing the motorcycle thing, now full time in "retirement", so I guess we are both examples of long-term passion for the hobbies of our youth.
