continued from part 3, the Denver years.
Back home and the Tamarron Resort, Durango, Colorado
On a visit home I stopped in at the Tamarron Resort north of Durango for a casual inquiry. HR sent me to see the restaurant manager. Turned out to be a French import, who was there for one year as part of his own career building. He was also lonesome for someone with a bit of continental sensibilities and genuine appreciation for fine dining. He practically wouldn’t let me leave his office without promising to take the job and come back and start working.
Though I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with Denver, three years of the big city was getting to be enough and it was time to get back to home and my people, so I said sure.
When my French pal went back to his home, and to take up his next position with the French President’s culinary/service team for a year, I was promoted to replace him. While manager I created a server training manual for the San Juan Mtn Cafe.
