Excerpt: Schweitzer Mountain - The peak known as "Schweitzer Mountain" was named after an old Swiss hermit who lived at the bottom of the basin (Schweizer is German for "Swiss"). He had been in the Swiss military, and, as part of a crime investigation, his house was searched. It yielded the bodies of numerous local cats that had gone missing.

When owner (and co-founder) Jim Brown died in April 1989, his daughter, Bobbie Huguenin, took over the family business.
