Such a great site, I haven't been on this site for quite awhile, feels like I haven't missed a beat with all these Shilo memories. Was there from 64 to 1970. My father was with the RCHA and my parents are both still alive. My father is a very young looking 91 year old, Russell Kaye.

Bill - I gotta ask what you and Doug were doing with the signal wire? I remember Dave Bourassa and I concocting some variation of a TeslaCoil in his basement and causing a few sparksto fly - but signal wire episode escapes me !

Edie, Doug Jordan - a parcel from me is on the way. Doug - yours should be there by the end of the week. I put a letter inside, but forgot to sign it. Edie - hopefully your parcel will arrive in GMI by the end of the month. I forgot to put the letter inside, so it will be separate. I've been doing e-mail for everything for so long, I've forgotten how to do snail mail! :!headbang:

You are right Edie - Ken and Lonnie keep the site going and growing. Tireless workers. Thanks to you both and to the other members of the team.

I think most of you know Ken Jenkins but do any of you know Lonnie Frankow ? If not for them, you wouldn't have THIS ShiloBrats web site. Just a little reminder.

I didn't expect another Thank-You, Doug, but I do appreciate it. I have always been a pay-it-forward person, and to the next two people who send me their mailing addresses, I will mail (or in Winnipeg, deliver) the same little keepsake to that person.

I am writing this to a very special lady, that is thoughtful and caring, in my hart and others, harts. In 2002 reunion, she had made up little houses, with candy in them.She gave them out to people. OTTER received one and he was so pleased to receive one, he wrote a little thank you letter to her on SHILO BRATS GUEST BOOK, about what this thoughtful lady had done, She must have been very special for him to that, This lady just sent one to me. That is why I am writing this, to this thoughtful lady. This special ,thoughtful lady is Karen Pollock. This is from Doug Jenkins to Karen,;;;THANK YOU KAREN

Well, Doug-if the "meatheads" had not made us take the wire down-we likely would have gone on to brilliant careers at NASA or Boeing!

However, I also recall that we were on the verge of discovering the wonders of pursuing romance with the lovely young ladies at PEHS-so that would probably have influenced our further pursuit of technical excellence!

If you believe any of this, I have land in the Florida Everglades you might be interested in purchasing!

Cheers & giggles.

Yes, you are right Bill, the whole team works tirelessly and deserves our commendation. But in the beginning when Otter was putting together site, he faltered as his physical health began to deteriorate and expenses grew, it was Faye who became the backbone of Shilobrats and her contributions kept Otter involved until the time of his death while Shilobrats lived on thanks to Faye.

One Bill Gillespie story. He and I were fascinated by electronics. So grabbing (stealing?) some of the signal wire that crisscrossed the prairie, we set up a working telegraph using our train transformers and meccano sets and if it hadn't been for the meatheads comploaining about a black wire running from his bedroom to mine, both on the second floors of our houses - well who knows what would have happened to our futures? Would Bill still have become a successful pilot? Would we both have become electrical engineers? Or maybe it was fortunate the meatheads had to demand the wire be removed. What do you think Bill?
