Bill G. Your description of Brian is perfect and moving. I wrote about Brian in my blog. I can't enter a URL address here and there is not enough space to reproduce the entry. If you want to read it and don't know the address of my blog, email me.

Here is the start of the blog entry...

Brian was one of the most creative persons I knew, with a golden sense of humor. He could make me laugh anytime, anywhere. Like the day we were in the swimming pool and passed the high diving board which bore a sign "Out of Bounds"

"Shouldn't that sign read "Out of Bounce?" Brian said matter-of-factly. His dry sense of humor could reach genius level.......

Very sorry to hear of Brian's passing. Sincere condolences to his family, and to our dear friend Bruce.

I did not know Brian well, but in addition to remembering his gift of musical and artistic talent that he shared and inspired us, I clearly remember what a quiet, kind and gentle person he was.

Brian provided the inspiration for everything that's happened in my life, so sad he has moved on, but his inspiration and his songs will live on...he touched a lot of people that way, knowing him has been a blessing.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Brian Howie this morning. He and the band The Saints provided hours of entertainment to Shilo Brats. Condolences to his family and Bruce and his family. He had been sick for quite some time so at least now he is in a better place

For those 60's Shilobrats not on Facebook, and also for those who are, the following message was posted today in the Facebook Group 'Obits of Shilobrats'

It is with great sadness that we find that "Brian Howie peacefully passed away this afternoon in Richmond General Hospital with his wife and daughters and me at his bedside."
This message from his brother Bruce Howie.

Brian Howie, a ShiloBornBrat, inspired a generation of Shilobrats towards music and the arts. As a tribute to his memory, what are your memories of Brian.

Heading to Brandon on Wednesday to see my mom and do some taxes. My brother Wayne is coming in too, but too bad we won't be there long enough to plan a visit among Shilobrats!! But we'll be thinking of you all. :!kiss:

Reading Bill's account of his "meat head" experience brought to mind my first real encounter with our beloved red caps.In fact it was on my second summer of military training when our little group was sent to Shilo for second phase artillery training, part of which was to learn how to operate military vehicles. For some reason our course officer allowed us all to get jeeps for the weekend and we had free reign in driving them thru the sand dunes. As you can imagine this was not too shabby for a bunch of 19-20 year olds until we ran out of gas and the transport pumps were closed. Not willing to give up we pooled our cash and lined up at Canex to get gas. Who should come by but a MP patrol who wanted to know what we were doing and why. To my embarrassment when they found out my parents were still in Shilo, my father was called to the station to account for us (which he did rather reluctantly) but managed to get us out. Of course we did not know that the MPs also sent a report to the CO who was far less lenient then my father. It was our first exposure to extra shifts as a duty officer to pay for our crimes but like Bill said the MPs were "just doing their jobs" But they seemed to enjoy that one a bit too obviously. Cheers
