Dear Gwen, Jennifer,Steve,&Rebecca I remember Peter as a "Jack of all Trades". When Jennifer was born, Peter was working in Cynthia, AB.operating a crawler tractor. Somewhere in his travels, Gwen & Peter we're working a cab company in Fort McMurray, AB. My mom & dad(Jim & Irene McCallum)& Helen Kallbom drove Gwen up to Fort McMurray, AB. & from there he moved the house trailer to Valleyview, Ab. Later he moved to Sunset House, AB.& I think more children were born there. Have to check with Gwen to get details straight.Wayne Mcarthur & I saw Peter training "The Spirit Horse" (white face horse) & taking logs out. Steve was working on computers at home. Gwen was always busy working with social work& or being a teacher at home. THe whole family visited the McArthurs at Sturgeon Heights, AB.& I think Peter helped move houses to new locations. Peter always had a smile & a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed. Much love to Gwen, Jennifer, Rebecca & Steve.❤️🙏From Helen & Wayne McArthur & Irene McCallum & Jim
