History / Biographical
Edna Brown (née Olsen) was born 1919 in Alix, Alberta and moved to Banff at the age of 15. Edna met and married Horace Brown b.1913 in Bankhead, Alberta and together they had three children. Edna worked at a variety of Banff and area businesses including Num-Ti-Jah Lodge with Jim and Billie Simpson. While working in Banff and area, Edna met a number of celebrities including Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters and Henry Fonda. Horace worked at highway construction which meant long periods of time away from his family. While Horace was working for the Banff-Jasper Highway, Edna, in order to have the family together took a job as camp cook for the Banff-Jasper Highway work crew. Following Edna and Horace's final summer with the Banff-Jasper Highway work, Edna worked as head housekeeper at Becker's Bungalows and then at the Bay in Banff where she remained for twenty years. Edna and Horace retired to British Columbia in 1979. Edna returns to Banff annually in June to participate in the Back to Banff reunion.

History / Biographical
Grace Charlton (née Wheatley) was born 1912 in Bankhead, Alberta to Alice and Frank Wheatley. The family moved to Banff in the early 1920s when the Bankhead mine closed. Following graduation from school in Banff, Grace attended Henderson Business School in Calgary completing secretarial courses. She returned to Banff to work for J.D. Hansen.
Elmer Charlton was born in Spokane, Washington, U.S.A. in 1911. Elmer completed his schooling in Calgary when his family moved there from Spokane. Elmer worked for his brother Malcolm before moving to Banff in the 1930s to work for his brother in-law George Brewster, who owned Brewster Skyline Tours. Elmer worked for George Brewster driving the daily bus from Banff to Calgary. On his return trips from Calgary, Elmer delivered the Calgary Herald newspaper to homes and businesses along the way. Elmer met Grace while he was working for Brewster and they married in 1935. Grace and Elmer had two children, Ken (b.1939) and Gary (b.1942).
Growing up in Banff, Grace was an active skier and she and Elmer became involved with the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies and helped build the first lodge and rope tow. Both Grace and Elmer held executive positions with the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies and Elmer was a judge at the ski-jump event for the North American Ski championships, 1948-1950.

Elmer worked on the soundstages, appeared as an extra and was a driver for the casts of the films "Lassie Come Home", "North West Stampede", "Saskatchewan", and "River of No Return." In 1949 Elmer and Grace built Charlton's Cedar Court, the first year round motel. It opened with four units and expanded to twenty units before their son Gary took over management of the motel in 1969. Grace and Elmer became members of the Banff Chamber of Commerce and Elmer served as president. Elmer was a life member of the Banff Kinsmen Club and Banff Rotary Club.
