If you’ve eaten at the Garden Gate restaurant even once or twice, chances are you’ve seen Arlene Clayton. She might have been showing diners to their tables, or moving around the room checking to make sure everything’s okay.

A native Coloradan, Clayton grew up in Greeley where she took her first restaurant job 42 years ago. “Back then, I was raising my kids by myself and the tip money was pretty good. When you have kids, you always need money for this and that, and waiting tables, I had a little bit of cash all the time.” <Read Full Story ...>
