“Anderson Ranch to name wood barn after Sam Maloof,” proclaimed The Aspen Times on July 24, 1986. “Sam Maloof, a contemporary figure in the crafting of handmade furniture, has been teaching in the wood program for many years. He also has donated works for the annual Anderson Ranch fundraising auction. The woodworking facility has been in operation in its present form since 1984. The old log cabin has been restored and enlarged by architect Harry Teague. … Featured in Fine Woodworking, Maloof is best known for his rocking chairs.”
