Reservations MUST be made by 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 13 to helenmhansen1@gmail.com.
Peter Ripley Wyman was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, the son of a third generation Idaho attorney, Thorton, whose firm dated to the territorial days. Pete’s brother Jon is the fourth generation. After graduation from Boise Wyman attended the Boise Junior College (now Boise State University)for one year. He went on to earn a B.A. and M.A. in Economics from the University of Washington in Seattle, hometown of his mother Julia. In addition, Wyman has post graduate courses in geology, anthropology, and history of the American West.
Wyman taught economics at Spokane Falls Community College where he retired after 38 years. However, not comprehending “retire” he continues lecturing as an adjunct for Eastern Washington University. While at SFCC, Pete taught for a semester in Thailand and Budapest, Hungary. Faithful to his love of Idaho history, he conceived and taught the first Northwest history, as well as taught US History and Environmental studies at SFCC. He is an avid rock hound since student days in Boise. He loves the outdoors, canoes, skies in the West and shares a condo in the Sun Valley with his clan.
