She would be seen in Wolfeboro every summer with her body guards.

This compound was bought and razed by the CEO of Stanley Tools in the mid to late 90s. He built a beautiful home/compound of his own. This guy had so much influence, he made the pwc company of his choice offer their product at Goodhue & Hawkins Boatyard (Wolfeboro) even though the territory of the product was geographically protected (dealers not too close to one another).

I do believe he was the CEO of Black and Decker. However, the CEO of Stanley built a house on Sewall Road about the same time frame.

The president of France (Sarkovsky at the time?) rented a place on the lake. He had a huge amount of security as I recall. I think there were a few interesting stories at that time.

There sure were some interesting stories. I believe the house he rented was in behind the Varney Island in a cove by Worcester Island.

Yes there were and many pictures at the time. I have shared many stories about the President of France Sarkovsky while vacationing here in Wolfeboro.

I believe you're referring to Nicolas Sarkozy. I remember photos taken of him shaking his fist at news photographers who (in his opinion) got too close to his boat!

It was Nolan D. Archibald- Chairman of the Board, CEO and president of Black & Decker. My research shows that Stanley and B&D didn't merge until 2010. his pwc of choice- Yamaha!

I wonder if the OP ever wrote his article? It's almost the one year anniversary of this thread.

Bob Montana, the man who created Archie and the gang owned the house on Windswept Island just off Cow. After his untimely death from a heart attack, the house went for sale in 2016.

We used to go to Harilsa's when we were kids and buy the comics each week and read them over and over and over again during rainy days on Cow Island. Some of my best memories.

Would Benning Wentworth count? The Harvard grad was the New Hampshire governor back in '41. 1741, that is...

From the information that has been gathered for me it was the CEO of Black and Decker. The confusion may lie in that Stanley tools bought B&D. And the CEO of Stanley tools then purchased the property.
