Waltee paintings on display

Paintings by the late artist Don Waltee are on display at Whitehall Town Hall located at 207 E. Legion.

Waltee was born on a dairy farm in northern Michigan and moved to Butte at the age of 11. He joined the Navy after high school and returned to Butte. Later he and his wife Glenna moved to Alaska and spent the next 30 years on job assignments all over the country. The Waltees built their retirement home off Piedmont Road in Whitehall when they retired.

Don began his art training 50 years ago; his work ranges from portraits in pastel or oil to western and wildlife scenes in all medium.

Don passed away on Memorial Day last spring. His paintings will be on display at Town Hall until the middle of January.
