That is a very good article on John and Kim.
I compliment John on keeping a steady business head while enduring his health battles. I have known John a while and he never told me about his ailment. I found out last Summer through word on the street, but said nothing to respect his privacy-then I read an article about it in the paper.
Also, Crystal has really benefited from his ownership of the mountain rather than the co-op that it was in the past.
He's brought a vision, money, and hands on experience along with the guts to keep the course even when he gets resistance from many aspects.
Many people, including myself have not agreed with some of moves Crystal makes, but it would not be what it is today without the Kircher's dedication.
I hope the best for his health, his family and friends who equally endures the pain of John's illness.
