Ogletree lives and breathes sailing. At age 6 he soloed on a 14-foot Sunfish on the Scuppernong River and he’s sailed ever since: summer camp, high school, college, Olympics. Even his occupation as a sailmaker revolves around the sport.
"This is my last chance," Ogletree told the Houston Chronicle about the 2004 Olympics. "I'm 36, and that's pushing the upper end in Tornado competition. It's pretty physical.”
