The reason for John's infertility was a case of the mumps when he was a teen, remember they did not have an MMR vaccine for John's age group...while mumps does not always cause infertility, it can...that does not just clear up...yes, John loved Jesse Belle as his own...and she loved him as her Daddy...mumps makes a man sterile for life and in his autobiography that Cassie "made a fool of him from one end of the Roaring Fork Valley to the other."...what do you think he meant? I honestly think that John loved that child more than Cassie did after sitting backstage, holding her in my lap reading a book" Brother Eagle, Sister Sky, a gift to Jesse from my daughters, to her after one of the Symposiums...Jesse Belle was three and even she talked about her mother and daddy...not saying what, but out of the mouths of babe's as they say. Not to mention that there were reasons for those two DUI incidents that will probably never be revealed. And, IF you have ever seen Cassie in person, except for Cassie being much thinner, Jesse Belle is the spitting image of her mother as a grown woman...and trust me, her looks and her cunning are all that woman had going for her. They were married not much longer than 2 yrs. Poor John fell for the same thing that many older men fall for when they marry a much younger woman the second time around...and it was a total case of "The Emperor's New Clothes" with John and his friends concerning Cassie...it was a sad situation for John. I wish John and Annie had found their way back to each other. Cassie deserved nothing...only Jesse Belle did but Cassie tried to keep Zak and Anna-Kate from inheriting any of John's estate because they are adopted...what a mean thing to do...she was not successful.
