Hello Everyone!
Today was a very exciting day. Two individuals from the Baldpate
Inn's past visited us again. The first being Maryann Grometer who worked here
as a salad girl in 1942. One of her fondest memories was how the girls would go
up to Lily Lake to collect the blooming lilies that blanketed the lake for
table centers in the dining room. Our second guest was Vance Brand who is the
son of Rudy Brand who donated the large yoke key. Here to visit with his wife
Bev and daughter Susan he fondly remembers his father Dr. Rudy Brand. A real
pioneer Rudy was born in 1903 in Boulder, moving to Longmont to become a
veterinarian after finishing school. Vance also remembers how his father’s
sisters Helen and Grace Brand, who just out of high school, chose to work here
in the early thirties. Its days like these that reinstate the historic value
and love for the Baldpate Inn. If anyone has any fond memories, laugh out loud
stories, or even spooky ones, feel free to let us know! Feel free to email us
at keys@baldpateinn.com or stop by to
share your stories and/or photographs.
