Love this story. My wife and I started like the Kushners-- bought a share at the Austria Haus, then a full unit at the Cascades and last year bought a lot in Cordillera to build on in the future. Our hope is to move to Cordillera full time in the next 5-6 years. Till then we have our Cascades condo that we use as often as possible.

Although I wasn't a Ravino I was there from 1976-1989 and took part in several St. Paddy's Day productions on First Steps. The Ravinos were "the Bam" back then! Chi Bear was an icon.
