 In the worlds of sports and business a few people are better known than George Gillette. You've owned many sports teams You also owned Vale and one of the things that you said when you when you took over Vale was it needed a world-class Orthopedic capability and you tell the rest of the story from there Well, we were blessed to have this extraordinary resort but The medical side of it the hospital was good and solid, but the the orthopedic side of it wasn't up to the par for the the kind of opportunity that Vale presented and so I had a bad accident and Cindy Nelson introduced Rose and me to Dr. and Mrs. Steadman and They couldn't have been more charming and they were on their way to the world championships in 1987. I believe it was in Austria and And Dr. Steadman said come see me in San Francisco at the airport I've got to go to to the world championships. So Rose and I flew out to San Francisco he took one look at my knee and he said we're going to Lake Tahoe and so he delayed his trip by a day and he operated on me and It changed my life because once I I met that extraordinary gentleman and his lovely wife and They had Rose stay with them as they have done so many of the of the patients over the years and My knee got better and our relationship with the Steadman's continued to stay strong And so we started working took me three years to convince them to consider coming to Vale I remember asking dr. Steadman one time geez Why don't you practice in San Francisco or LA or Chicago and he said no because This being in South Lake Tahoe Sort out who's serious about having surgery and who's serious about you know their physical therapy after it That's what he told me and he didn't want to go anywhere and you got him to come here. So how did that happen? I believe That it was we were prepared to assist him in fulfilling his research dreams We had an opportunity here to build a very very serious world-class research facility We started on it. He had a dream. We had a dream and we shared that dream and it worked out Lots of legends in the history of Vale, Colorado Where do you place dr. Richard Steadman among that hierarchy of people who've made this place great? Well, I mean it's it's somewhere at or near the near the top and when I say near the top I think he would be one of the one of the five folk up there along with the The crew Pete cybert and Earl Eaton and dr. Steadman We've we've we've had some wonderful wonderful luck having great people who have been here Supported Vale and Beaver Creek Nobody better for us.
