Submitted by paula on Thu, 06/30/2016 - 6:22pm
The Lake Tahoe Historical Society would like to thank all the generous donors who honored Bob "Old Long Skis" Rockwell at a celebration of life at the History Museum Complex in South Lake Tahoe.
Memories of Bob were shared by his family and friends in front of the Osgood Toll House (OTH), the oldest standing commercial building at Lake Tahoe. It was Bob's desire to be remembered through Lake Tahoe's history. Over $4,000 in donations were received in his memory for the restoration of the OTH. Plans for the next phase were unveiled.
We would especially like to thank Jeff Tillman and Tracy Ruger of South Tahoe Refuse for organizing the event. We sincerely thank Christie Prouty Rockwell for holding Bob's tribute at the History Museum Complex.
For more information about donating to the restoration of the Osgood Toll House, please call 530.541.5458.
