Board of Directors:

At Large Position 1: Bob Cosburn – 1.602.376.2622, jazztramp@cox.net

Bob Cosburn and his wife, Dawn fell in love with Crown King almost nine years ago and have been coming to their home in the mountains, every weekend since. They have two adult children, Danielle and Kevin who love the residents of this terrific community as much as their Mom and Dad. In fact, Dawn often tells visitors that “we work in the Valley but we live
in Crown King”. Bob is absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Crown King Community Association and promises to do his best for the residents, property owners, and businesses of this thriving community.

Bob holds a Master of Mass Communication Degree from The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications, at Arizona State University, and works full-time as a Media Advertising Consultant for Dex Media throughout Northern Arizona. Bob said recently that, “It’s a honor and a privilege to be part of this Association. We’ve got an incredible amount of energy and experience across the board members, not to mention all of the exceptional folks in this community.” As long as everyone doesn’t mind Bob’s Canadian accent from time to time, (your token Crown King Canadian), we should be in great shape going forward.

Treasurer: Jim Reidburn – 928.632.4197, jreidburn@hotmail.com

Jim Reidburn made his first trip to Crown King in the mid 70’s. A friend and his family brought Jim and his family to CK for the day to picnic, hike, and generally have some fun. Part of the reason for the trip was because Jim and his family were avid ghost town hunters. Throughout the mid 70’s and into the 80’s and 90’s, the family visited over 30 ghost towns in Arizona. Jim realized that hustle and bustle of Phoenix was not where he wanted to spend the rest of his life. So, he sent his son off to the Navy and he and his wife bought a piece of property in CK on which they thought they would build a cabin. After a lot of camping trips and weekend visits to the property, they realized embarking on the cabin building process might be a little over whelming. So, they started looking for a cabin to buy. After a few months of talking with the ‘locals’, they discovered that a gentleman by the name of Morse Whitley may be thinking about selling his cabin. After a few more months of negotiations, the deal was made in April 1996. Jim lost his wife of 25 years, to a terminal illness in 2005. He still makes the every other weekend trip to CK and enjoys the many friends and neighbors that he has there. Jim is becoming more active in the affairs of the community and looks forward to having a functional role in the newly formed Crown King Community Association.
