Jon Whyte

One of the most interesting of the [White/Whyte] clan is Jon Whyte. Growing up in Banff, this ultra intelligent and nerdy child did not fit in well with his more athletic schoolmates, but when he went to the University of Alberta in Edmonton, during the creative years of the early 60s, Jon found his milieu. In 1967, Jon received a master’s degree in Old English. He followed that up with a master’s degree in Communications from Stanford University in California, before returning to to Banff. Here he rediscovered his home and for the next 25 years was the intellectual heart of the town. He reminded us over and over again of the special place where we live and of the rich history we have inherited. Jon died of cancer in 1992, at the age of 51, but his effect on our community was profound.

Email message from Chic Scott to Michael Delahunt on April 21, 2013:

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contactng me. I can help you with the White/Whyte family tree but I do not have it digitized at the moment. It is on a giant 4 foot x 4 foot poster board. I am writing a book about the family and the family tree will be in the book when it is published (anticipated date is June 2014). Of course I would prefer that the information not be made public until the book is published.

Regarding your question about Dave White: Peter's father's name was Dave and he also had a brother Dave (who was known as Jackie). Dave (Jackie) was married to Barbara Carpenter and Jon Whyte is their son.
