Biographical Note

Walter E Ogilvie, III, MD "Terry", practiced medicine in Asheville for many years, working at the Veterans Administration, Mission, and St. Joseph's Hospitals, before running his own practice on Merrimon Avenue. After he retired in 1982, Terry worked with, and was a student at, the College for Seniors at UNC Asheville. Always a keen photographer, in the 1960's, Terry opened the f/32 gallery on Biltmore Avenue so photographers could meet and exhibit their work. He died on November 29, 2015, aged 95.
