Bud Fisher (1900 – 1992) Bud Fisher arrived in the Yukon in 1929 from McKeesport, Pennsylvania. He brought his family north just before the Depression and they settled in the Mayo area. Their two-week journey from Whitehorse to Mayo happened in December. Fisher put skis on the front of his truck and drove the Overland Trail to Carmacks. From there they took an open horse and sleigh to Mayo. Fisher pioneered the transportation industry in the Yukon when he started the first cat train and established Fisher Services.((“In remembrance of Clifford Elmer Fisher.” Yukon Legislative Assembly, //Hansard,// 16 April 2012.)) Bud Fisher and Emery Shilleto moved the first truck-transported load of concentrate from the waterfront in Mayo overland to Whitehorse on the new road from Mayo to Carmacks and then over the old winter road from Carmacks to Whitehorse. Shilleto worked for Fisher Service in Mayo in the late 1940s and early 1950s.((Linda E.T. MacDonald and Lynette R. Bleiler, //Gold & Galena.// Mayo Historical Society, 1990: 451.)) Fisher moved to Whitehorse in 1955.((“In remembrance of Clifford Elmer Fisher.” Yukon Legislative Assembly, //Hansard,// 16 April 2012.)) He worked for the Yukon Government's department of travel and publicity as an ambassador. He travelled North America and even went to England. He dressed and played the part of a Yukon prospector and told stories about the way it was.((Jim Robb, "The Colourful Five Percent: Bud Fisher was a great Yukon ambassador." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 28 April 2008.))
