- Herman W. Kluge
- A town founder of Palisade, Colorado. According to US Census records, he was born in Illinois to John and Mary Kluge, both Prussian immigrants. He married Anna "Annie" (Doyle) Kluge in Denver, Colorado in 1890 (she was also from Illinois, and the daughter of Irish immigrants), and they were living in Boulder, Colorado by 1900. There, census records list him as a coal miner. He was living in Palisade by 1910, and census records show his occupation as a retail merchant selling general merchandise. Oral history interviewee Ann Stokes remembers his store being located on Main Street. According to US Representative Wayne Aspinall in his oral history interview, Kluge was one of the incorporators of the town, a "fine merchant" and a "good citizen," but eventually became the victim of anti-German sentiment during World War I. He was elected to the State Senate in 1914, and served until 1918, when prejudice against his German heritage made it impossible for him to seek reelection. After leaving Palisade with his Annie, he and partner Thomas E. Lewis founded the Lewis & Kluge Mercantile in Eagle, Colorado. By 1930, the Kluges were living in Denver with their son, William, the manager of a department store there. Herman Kluge died in Denver in 1933, and is interred in Denver's Fairmount Cemetery. *Photograph of Herman Kluge courtesy of the Eagle Valley Library District and the Eagle County Historical Society.

- Hermann Staufer
- Hermann Staufer was born 6 September 1939 in Schörfling am Attersee, Austria to Karl and Teresa Staufer. While both parents modeled kindness, industry and an appreciation for rural montane life, the Staufer children learned to love food preparation and hospitality from their mother. After attending a European hotel management school and gaining experience in Europe and Bermuda, Staufer arrived in Florida on 27 October 1962. At the behest of his older brother, Josef, Hermann Staufer migrated to Vail during Christmas 1964. Hermann Staufer met Pepi Langegger during his first job in the Gore Creek Valley. Staufer was employed as Assistant Manager of the Lodge at Vail, while Langegger worked as the Food and Beverage Manager. They became lifelong friends and business associates. Staufer and Langegger opened several restaurants including The Lancelot steakhouse, which celebrated its 50th anniversary on 21 February 2019. They also partnered in opening Manor Vail’s Lord Gore Restaurant, as well as the Blue Cow, which later became the Tyrolean, and the Iron Kettle, which later became Sweet Basil. Hermann Staufer was instrumental in establishing Vail Resorts Association (VRA). In the 1960s, he served as Vice President of the VRA Executive Committee and on the VRA Board of Directors. In 1970, both Staufer brothers were founding members of the Vail – Eagle Valley Rotary Club. In 1983, Hermann Staufer was on the Vail Town Council when the Vail Public Library was built. In total, Staufer served two terms on the town’s council and was active in many civic projects. On 7 July 1967, Father Tom Stone of St. Patrick’s Parish in Minturn, Colorado performed the marriage between Hermann Staufer and Gloria Anne Kreeger. After Gloria’s untimely passing due to illness, Staufer raised their two sons.
