Originally the Alta Peruvian Lodge was one of the medical barracks buildings located in Brigham City,
and was known as the Becknell Medical Hospital. The building was purchased by Lauren W. Gibbs under the
company name Bundoc Corp. sometime before 1945. The building was sectioned into 4 pieces, and then moved
from Brigham City up to Alta through the Little Cottonwood Canyon.
According to the tax file at the Salt Lake Archives on some 40D-30 serial cards the building had 2 ½
stories in 1945 with 57 rooms, 6 medium dormers, and a  roof type. 1951-1957 they either added rooms to the
attic dormitory, 1st and 2nd floors or they remodeled them. They installed Fire & Sprinkler system to the 2 nd floor.
1958 they had 3 stories, and changed the roof type from  to flat, they added porches to the front and rear of the
building, a boiler room was added, and 1 deluxe swimming pool measuring 26x44. 1960-1965 they build a
detached garage with a flat roof. In 1986 the owner changed to John D. Cahill (attached is 6 yellow pages of notes

Architecture: The style of the building illustrates architecture from World War II as a medical war barracks from
that time period.
Entertainment/Recreation: The Alta Peruvian Lodge is a hotel up Little Cottonwood Canyon where people stay and
spend time skiing. The lodge has hosted ski events, weddings, and parties over the years.
Military: The lodge was originally the Becknell Medical Hospital on a military base in Brigham City.
Social History: Connected to the ski culture of Utah, which was built on an old mining town called Alta. The
mining town is no longer there.
The Alta Peruvian Lodge’s building was purchased by Lauren W. Gibbs under his company Bundoc Corp.
and moved from Brigham city in 4 sections oversaw by his son Edwin Gibbs. On the Salt Lake Assessors website
under parcel #30-05-154-013-0000 its year built is 1945, but with remodels and additions its effective year built is
1991-1996.
During it’s initial construction after it was relocated up Little Cottonwood Canyon there was some health
concerns pertaining to the sewage and water runoff though this issue was resolved, and construction continued.
In 1958 the buildings roof was changed from steepled roof into a flat roof due to heavy snow (verify way
exactly – I know there was a few avalanches, need to do more research here). In 1960 a detached garage was
built, and then in 1965 it was expanded.
The Alta Peruvian Lodge was purchased in 1970 by John D. Cahill, and it was then that the lodge
underwent renovations, and additions. The motel had a sundeck, and sunroom built off the back along with outside
stairs on the east and west sides of the building, fire alarm & sprinkler system, service garage additions, and
employees housing. (notes from tax file on yellow pages included).
The Alta Peruvian Lodge is currently owned by FAPL Limited Company.

1924 ~ 2019
Peter Godbe Gibbs passed away on July 13, 2019.
Peter was born Dec 7, 1924 in Salt Lake City,
Utah to Lauren Worthen Gibbs and Mary Godbe
Gibbs. Peter had three brothers, Edwin, David
and William, and one sister, Mary Adele. In 1953
he married Miriam Starling Kvetensky in Urbana,
Illinois. They had 3 children (Doon/Teri (spouse), Victoria and
Nicholas/Courtney (spouse)), 5 grandchildren (Colin/Kaitlyn (spouse),
Connor/Ale (spouse), Julia, Theo and Alex) and 3 great grandchildren,
so far (Nico, Santi and Isla). They remained married until Miriam's
death and enjoyed 58 years together. He is survived by his younger
brother, William, and all of his children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren.
As a child, Peter attended Ensign elementary school, Bryant Jr. High
School and East High School in Salt Lake City. He was good at math,
science and writing, and wanted to be a journalist. As a result of the
attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the US Navy in Dec. 1941.
Because of his capacity for science, the Navy enrolled him in a series
of universities, including Beria College (in Kentucky), the University of
Michigan, and Columbia University, studying physics as part of the V-
12 program. Peter subsequently received his commission as a naval
officer. He then attended Gunnery Officers Training School and
became an anti-aircraft gun commander as an Ensign. He was
assigned to the Cruiser, the USS Columbia, as an Instructor to newly
commissioned officers. He left the Navy as a Lt. Commander shortly
after the war ended.
While in the Navy, Peter discovered that he loved physics. He
attended the University of Utah and received his Bachelors of Science
in 1947, his Masters of Science in 1949 and his PhD in 1951, all in
physics-the latter under the guidance of the distinguished physical
chemist Henry Eyring. He subsequently conducted post-doctoral
studies from 1951-2 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
under John Bardeen, who received 2 Nobel Prizes in Physics. Between
1952 and 1955 Peter was an Instructor in the Physics Department at
the University of Illinois and a Fulbright Lecturer in theoretical physics
in Colombo, Ceylon at the University of Ceylon--a remarkable
adventure with a young wife and new baby.
After the years in Illinois and Ceylon, Peter had several interesting job
offers at prestigious universities and companies in the Midwest and
on the East Coast, but he decided to return home to the University of
Utah and to the mountains. He joined the Department of Ceramic
Engineering in 1955 and then moved to the Physics Department in
1956. He rose through the ranks to become Full Professor in 1962. He
was honored with the Ross Coffin Purdy Award by the American
Ceramic Society for his work on theoretical modeling of ceramic
materials in 1962.
In addition to being a professor of physics, he served as a consultant
at different times between 1957 and 1967 to the North American
Aviation Company, to Atomics International, to the Stanford Research
Institute and to the Organization of the American States (advising on
scientific affairs). In 1963 he again took a young family with three
children aged 5 to 10 on an adventure to Sao Carlos, Brazil for a year
where he was a Fulbright Lecturer in physics at the University of Sao
Carlos. ("If you're not doing stuff, you're not alive.")
From 1967 to 1976 Peter served as Chair of the Physics Department
at the University of Utah. As Chair, he considerably grew the
department, attracting new and distinguished faculty in a range of
new disciplines, spearheading construction of a new building and
starting the novel "Science and Society" curricula. The department's
national and international stature correspondingly grew.
OR
Perhaps his best-known accomplishment as Chair was creating the Frontiers
of Science Lecture Series in 1968, attracting world-renown scientists across all
fields of science to give popular lectures that anyone could understand. In the
early days, he attracted well-known scientists, many his friends, by inviting
them to ski with us on the weekends, including elaborate dinners at home.
Later, as the Frontiers of Science became well-known, the ski weekends were
no longer necessary to attract famous speakers. Extremely well-attended, and
imitated around the country, these lectures are now an established University
Utah Lecture Series. Last year, Peter was honored at the 50th anniversary. He
was proud of the series and of the fact that he had successfully nominated
one of its earliest speakers, Murray Gell-Mann, for the 1969 Nobel Prize in
physics for the discovery of the quark. During these years Peter also managed
to lead a research project focused on bio-engineering, characterizing the
current of injury that accompanies bone displacements.
From 1977 until his retirement in 1992, Peter continued research and
teaching in the Physics Department at the University, including sabbaticals in
the Physics Department at the University of California Berkeley and in the
Institute for Theoretical Physics at the State University of New York at Stony
Brook. He was an unrelenting supporter of up-and-coming young people,
offering encouragement and advice based on his experience. He started a life-
long project, called "The Upside-Down Theory," to describe fundamental
elements of physics using a few simple symmetry principles and connect
them in surprising ways to other parts of science. Upon his retirement, he
wrote to the then chairman of physics to state that it was a privilege to be a
physicist, and that he was stepping down to make room for others. His
interest in physics, however, never stopped and he was active until the very
last days of his life.
Although Peter's life was consumed by his family, their adventures and his
science, he was also an avid artist, photographer, skier, mountaineer and river
rat. He founded the Great Uintah, River Green, Life Raft Establishment
(GURGLE) in 1970. And he finally built his life-long desire, a mountain cabin,
called Machu Petchy, in the Albion Basin in 1979. He loved the mountains, and
spent as much time as he could at the cabin with his family--hiking, skiing,
cooking amazing dinners and just watching the out-of-doors through the
giant glass windows that comprise the walls.
Peter's family remembers him as a loving father, grandfather and great
grandfather, who supported us unconditionally in all of our life's projects. He
had a remarkably positive approach to living, centered on constructive
activity, that aimed to make the world a better place. He was a happy man,
never defeated and he never gave up. He demonstrated this characteristic
every day of his life, but especially in his later years as his capacity began to
diminish. As he would often say: "The glass is always full, half water and half
air." Together with our mother, Miriam, they set a clear, stable, and
unconditionally loving base from which we children, grandchildren and great-
grandchildren could grow, and explore our lives. We loved them both, are
proud of their accomplishments and will hold them close in our hearts for the
rest of our lives.
In lieu of flowers please consider a gift to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
The kindness and care provided by The Ridge Senior Living, Danville Support
Services and Bristol Home Care are greatly appreciated. A celebration of
Peter's life will be held in September. If you would like to join us, please send

William Godbe Gibbs
1928 ~ 2019
On Friday, August 23, 2019, William Godbe Gibbs, our
beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather and
friend awoke to a new adventure with his beloved wife.
Bill was born July 2, 1928, in Salt Lake City, Utah to
Lauren Worthen Gibbs and Mary Godbe Gibbs. His life
was dedicated to service; to the Lord, his family, his community, his work
and playing in the outdoors.
He served a mission to New Zealand where he became ensconced in the
Maori culture, becoming fluent in Maori and developing a love for the
Maori people that lasted throughout his life. This love not only brought
frequent Maori houseguests to the house twice a year for decades of
General Conference, but also extended to invitations to many Polynesian
people who visited. When Bill served his mission in New Zealand, the
government was trying to stamp out the Maori language. Beginning in the
late 1990s, they were trying to resurrect it, and Bill, as one of only a few
people left fluent in the language, assisted the New Zealand government
in developing programs to save it. This program to save the Maori
language and culture was so significant that the BBC ran a special on
bringing back the Maori language and Bill was featured; it was the
number one rated show on the BBC in New Zealand for more than 2
years. He also assisted in the translation of the Temple Ceremony and
Book of Mormon into Maori and was instrumental in the establishment of
the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii.
Bill had a strong desire to serve his country. After completing his BS, LLB,
and JD degrees at the University of Utah and University of Chicago,
Champagne-Urbana, he joined the U.S. Airforce as Chief Legal Officer and
Acting Base Judge Advocate General stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in
Nevada. After winning 51 straight cases defending airmen, including one
against a pilot that intentionally produced a sonic boom by flying several
hundred feet above Cedar City, Utah, that cracked nearly every building
foundation, the base commander reassigned him as the prosecutor for
the base, where he had a similar record.
While serving at Nellis, just outside of Las Vegas, he met the love of his
life. Sitting at church one Sunday, he saw Barbara Clark walk into
Sacrament Meeting. Upon seeing her, he commented to a fellow officer,
that he was going to marry that girl. She didn't have the same impression,
and refused to go out with him for a time. However, his faith in that first
impression paid off, and they were married a year later in the St. George
LDS Temple by her Uncle, J. Reuben Clark, Jr. After Bill's term in the
Service, they moved to Salt Lake where they started their family.
Bill loved the outdoors: skiing, water skiing, river rafting, hiking and
hunting. He and his brother Edwin ran the Colorado River from it's
headwaters to Mexico, in a two man raft, with friends. When he returned
from his mission in New Zealand, he and his brothers wanted a way to
stay and play in the outdoors, so they started the Peruvian Lodge at Alta
as a way to have a foot in the ski industry and to have a place to stay at
Alta. The Peruvian Lodge not only fulfilled that wish, but launched the ski
careers of each of his children, who enjoyed skiing with their father into
his 88th year.
Bill always put his family first, but was also ingenious in combining
family/church/work and play. He pioneered the Ward Lake Powell trip,
combining Church service with one of his favorite playgrounds. On one
trip, claiming to be able to navigate by the stars, he set out with a group
of scouts at midnight to find a campsite. After failing to locate the
campers, he headed back to the marina at Bullfrog at 30 mph with his son
on the bow of the boat with a flashlight, only to find that sand bars don't
Providing for his family was not just economic. He always made sure his
children had, and took advantage of, opportunities and supported them
in pursuing their interests. Whether skiing, motorcycle riding, golf, soccer
or debate club, he encouraged and taught his children.
Bill believed wholeheartedly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it guided
every facet of his life. Throughout his life he devoted his time, intellect
and faith living and teaching it. He was a dedicated Ordinance Worker in
the Salt Lake Temple, served in Bishoprics, Hospital Branches and High
Counsels, but his true love was teaching the youth. He was young at heart
and could relate to them on their level and was an example to them in
the way he lived. In his 15+ years teaching the Priests, all but one served
an LDS mission.
Bill had a brilliant career as a lawyer. Specializing in Bank, Financial
Institutions and Insurance law, not only did he represent numerous
banks, savings and loans and insurance companies, but also drafted the
legislation that governed them in the State of Utah. He believed that an
integral part of his work included serving his community. Among others,
he served as Chairman of the Boards of Salt Lake County Fine Arts, Salt
Lake Salt Palace Board, Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau, Gina
Bachauer International Piano Competition Board, Enterprise Mentors
International Board and Kia Ngawari Maori Trust Board [New Zealand].
Bill was always upbeat and positive and took time to mentor and
encourage all those with whom he came in contact. He used to say about
himself that "he was manic/depressive, without the depressive part." He
was self-motivated, independent and persistent, a voracious reader,
always trying to better himself and those around him. He tried to read
one book a week, but often exceeded that goal. His family knew him as a
loving, happy and energetic father, grandfather and great grandfather
who would always put them first and support them in their chosen fields
and activities. We will truly miss him, his energetic spirit and his always
happy demeanor. He was an inspiration to the very end.
Bill is survived by his three children, William C. who married Elizabeth
Dowell, who have five children, Whitney (Brad Butler), Lauren (Lars
Reber), William, Madeline Eliza (Nate Goldhardt), and Graham; Wendy,
who married Cliff Keeler, who have four children, Chelsey (Samuel
Bilodeau), Durban (India), Windsor (Laura), and Jaxon; and Brigham; and
six great grandchildren.
A celebration of Bill's life will be held in September. Please send your
