Jon Whyte, works at CKUA (as an announcer), when not in university. Peter Whyte, painter, born in Banff in 1905. Peter’s father came in the first train to Banff in1886. His mother came to Anthracite in 1889. Peter’s father held large lots of real estate – second to the Brewster’s. Peter Whyte always showed artistic abilities – made his own high school diploma; went into real estate with his father, then sailing and then into the Boston University and art school where he met Catharine Robb. When World War II occurred, he joined but was never sent overseas so he joined the air force as a photographer and was shipped east but only to be told to go west. Peter has painted Fort McLeod Police Barracks; painted Canada; Stoney Indians; Peter’s painting of Mount Eisenhower went to the States – only sight General Eisenhower has seen of the mountain. Pete insists on calling it Castle Mountain. Pete helped his brother clear Mount Norquay and was first to go into Sunshine – named it Sunshine because they were in there for four days and never one saw the sun. Both Peter and Catharine were good friends with the Stoney Indians and recorded many of the Dialects spoken.
