− | In | + | In 2001, Peter's adoptive parents divorced due to Mr. Kennedy's addiction to alcohol. Mrs. Kennedy reverted to her maiden name, Ms. Harkem, which Peter also chose to take. The two then moved back to Whitehorse. Soon afterward, Ms. Harkem tracked down Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, and reunited them with Peter. Peter chose to stay with his adoptive mother, keeping her surname, but the two families remained on good terms until Mrs. Olsen's passing in 2008, and Mr. Olsen's passing in 2014. |
Growing up, Peter sometimes struggled in school, but then he discovered a passion for both music and philosophy. After graduating from secondary school, Peter moved to Vancouver and attended the University of British Columbia. Aspiring to become an academic, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts and then a Master of Arts degree in philosophy with a minor in music. Needing more money to support further studies, Peter worked as a conductor and teacher for various choirs around the city, but soon after he began working on his PhD, he was chosen by Gaia. | Growing up, Peter sometimes struggled in school, but then he discovered a passion for both music and philosophy.
