Noted American author, Pat Conroy, passed away at age 70, of pancreatic cancer. He was the author of iconic American novels: The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, The Lords of Discipline, and Beach Music. Several were successfully translated to the big screen where they enjoyed even more success and acclaim.
He was raised in a military family that was often uprooted and relocated depending on his Dad's assignments. This lifestyle left an indelible mark on the young aspiring writer.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
