Haven't been on Guestbook since I can't remember when, so very sorry to have missed the Miss Sheehan reunion. She, Mrs. McKay, Mr. McKnight, and Mr. Balitsky were my most favourite teachers, and made my understanding of the courses they taught so much easier, and understandable. I remember taking algebra and geometry in Grade XII, only to fail the course in '67, returning in '68, and having Miss Sheehan as my teacher that year. It was like a light bulb went on at the beginning of the course and I breezed through Math.

On that note, I realized the other day that this is the 50th anniversary of my "true" high school graduation, so, to all who graduated in 1967, Happy 50th! And to those who left us much too soon, you will always have a special place in my heart.

It is with great sadness to find my grade 9 teacher Mr. Russ Roney's obituary in the Brandon Sun just now. He passed June 1st and funeral was yesterday. My deepest sympathies to his family. He was a kind man.

I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures, and all the people at the lunch with Miss Sheehan. I still consider Shilo my home town, all all the people I know from there are my friends. You all look wonderful

For those of us from the 60's, the Lunch with Mary T Sheehan Student/Teacher Reunion was like the latest sequel of 'Back to the Future.' Who could imagine that over 50 years after leaving school you would be able to sit and talk with teachers you had from Grade 6 through high school, as well as your classmates from that time...and they all still drive and live independently.

Photos and stories have been gathered and will be assembled into two Special Editions by our Graphics lady Edie Walker Mullen. The first one Lunch with Mary T Sheehan Student/Teacher Reunion is now posted in Special Edition. See What's New for more information. Click on the link in What's New to take you there, maybe stay awhile and read the others.

Mary T Sheehan Student Teacher Reunion

When was the last time most of these people were in the same place at the same time?
It was 1965, and I have the yearbook to prove it...and Miss Sheehan is exactly the same as when you knew her, maybe a few wrinkles but nothing else has changed.
Karen Middleton and Denise Pike arranged the first gathering on short notice in 2015 that had 5 attend. This time they set an ambitious target at 25, and a whopping 37 showed up for the buffet luncheon, to catch up with each other, Miss Sheehan, and 6 teachers from that time who were able to come.
Karen Middleton, Sharon Middleton, Denise Pike, Boyd & Patricia van Aggelen, Doug Jordan, Ken Jenkins, Rick LeClair, Ian Malcolm, Pat Dolan, Alexia Forke Dolan, Lois Dolan, Sheila Clarke, Rick Daly, Wayne Helgason, Valerie Weisgerber, Diana Weisgerber, Betty-Ann McMullen, Bill Phillips, Gwenn McCormick, Lisa, Leslie & Vicki Henderson, Shannon McGunigal, Kay Schrot, Art Schrot, George Rodgers, Wayne Emond and teachers, Mary T Sheehan, Gerald Brown, Walter & Sylvia Bohonos Mr. Bob Hilton, Grant & Vona Edgar, Marvin & Anne-Marie Gordon.

At the same time in Ottawa another Shilobrat lunch reunion was held to co-ordinate with ours with a video conference organized by Faye Helgason in Ottawa and Wayne Helgason in Winnipeg. Wayne went from table to table with his video tablet joining the two mini-reunions. At the Ottawa reunion was Bob Meek, Rick Carlson, Lorraine Pollard, Susan Parsons, Cameron Emond, Faye Helgason, Carol Ann Delmage, Debbie Delmage and Faith Power.

Many of us haven't seen each other in over 50 years, it was a full house and the second largest Shilo mini-reunion to date. The only thing unfortunate, there is so much to catch up on, when it is over, you realize how many you didn't get to talk to...so let's think about next year.

Photos are now in the Gallery, more have been added and more to come...keep checking! :!clap: :!clap:

It's been a few years since I visited the site. I lived at 2 Stonehenge 1959-62. It was great to see Miss Sheehan's photo; first time I've seen her since '62. Nice to see lots of familiar names from 55 years ago! Cheers to anyone who remembers me.

Thanks Ian but all the glory should go to Denise Pike and Karen Pollock (maiden names). I was just a grunt. They handled setting the reunion up behind the scenes. I was only the webmaster (easy job) and the upfront person. Like a newscaster who reports the news the reporters have uncovered.

Congratulations to Karen and Doug for the lunchtime reunion. A lot of behind the scenes effort to get it together I am sure!

To see Mary T after almost 50 years was definitely a highlight for me. She was the nest teacher I ever had and "drove" me to find out what I could learn.

Great job by Doug as the emcee; had a chance to talk to former classmates and trade stories (all factual without a doubt) and then saw my old friend Rod March in Brandon on Friday. Rod is still Rod.

We also made it out to Shilo and toured the little base on the prairie. Things have changed but our old PMQ at 27 The Packway is still bravely standing, as is General Strange and the much enlarged RCA Museum. The "low road" (now called Veterans Way) is paved - the true sign that life evolves.

Thanks again to the organizers - it was a few days I will not soon forget.

Ian
