I sold it for $50,000.” “My dad worked for Guy Gannett Pub- lishing from the summer of 1964 through 1974,” says Bob Myers of Rangeley. “We moved to Maine for the position. He came in as controller and then treasurer. It was right around then that Jean Gannett Haw- ley bought Saddleback Mountain.” Bob remembers being a guest in the Gannett Lodge in Rangeley. “Of course I was on- ly 11 or 12 back then, but it was beautiful– a gorgeous log building right on the lake, with pine trees all around it. The lodge has fantastic views across the lake. It sits down from the road and is close to the lake, so it’s kind of back-to the Saddleback. In Range- ley, there aren’t many places where you can see Saddleback until it kind of sneaks up to you while you’re driving.” Was it a wind tunnel back then? “My mother said it had icicles from the room and snow on the roof, ‘like Dr. Zhivago.’ It had a big stone fireplace, which is still there. There was a real bear rug” in the Gannett lodge. “I’d never seen anything like that. Once you stare into a bear rug, it’s the kind of thing you don’t forget.” n
