Lake Tahoe has lost one of its icons. At the young age of 66, Terry Alan Ogg left us suddenly July 28, 2020.

Terry was born March 18, 1954 in Richmond, California. He grew up in Pinole, California and graduated from Pinole High School in 1972. As a teenager, he developed a love for music and found his instrument, a "Huge" (his words) Hammond organ. He moved his organ to South Lake Tahoe in 1975 at the age of 21 on a quest to become a rock star, among other interests.

This hardworking team prepared the utensils, bagged food ‘giveaways’, served the BBQ chicken dinner, worked the drinks and dessert table and ended their evening cleaning and putting away the tables and chairs.

It takes team work to crew a sail boat and the Lake Tahoe Windjammer Yacht Club members brought their teaming skills to help the Bread & Broth volunteers serve the June 5th Monday Meal dinner at St. Theresa Grace Hall.

When Jerod Haase played at Kansas, he dived for loose balls so often that somebody at the school created a statistic for it.

He was so upset over the Jayhawks’ 85-82 loss to Arizona in the 1997 NCAA Tournament regional semifinals that he sulked about it long afterward. The source for that information is a former waitress at a Lawrence sports bar called the Yacht Club.

“He was very upset about that game,” the former Mindy Meidinger said. That’s how she and Haase met, and they’ve been married for 17 years.
