Sam Arnold, R.I.P.
Posted by Richard on June 9, 2006
I was saddened to hear that Sam Arnold died Thursday. He was the founder and co-owner (with his daughter Holly) of The Fort Restaurant in nearby Morrison, CO. The Fort is an authentic recreation of Bent’s Fort, a trading post from the 1830s, and a wonderful dining experience in a stunning setting.
The Fort specializes in "food and drink of the Early West," and I’ve enjoyed some truly wonderful meals there. On a couple of holiday occasions, we had dinner with Sam and Holly — well, not with them, exactly; we were seated at a table adjacent to the Arnold party’s. They were friendly, cheerful, and thoroughly nice people.
My sympathies to the family and friends of Sam and to the staff at The Fort.

Yes, indeed. He will be missed.
