Mead & Diane Metcalf: Aspen HOF 2009
Mead Metcalf is the founder and the heart and soul of the famous CRYSTAL PALACE dinner theatre, an Aspen institution for 51 years. Metcalf, a graduate of Dartmouth College and a WWII vet came to Aspen in the late 50's to ski and play the piano. His love of entertaining evolved into the most successful entertainment venue in Aspen. The popular musical review provided political commentary and satire for generations of Aspen visitors and locals, plus it provided employment for many talented ski bums. Metcalf participated and contributed to many vital causes in Aspen, always willing to pitch in. He now lives on a golf course in Crested Butte.;)
