(Boone County, Ky.) - A Boone County Schools administrator is back home, resting after climbing Mount Everest.
Jim Detwiler was greeted Saturday by family and friends at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport. He has returned home after a 12-day journey up the world's highest mountain.
Detwiler is suffering from multiple myeloma, an incurable form of blood cancer. He was diagnosed in 2016.
