Yes, Buddy Melges, Bill Bentsen and Bill Allen, gold medalists in the soling class (3 man keelboat) were members of the Lake Geneva Yacht Club, though Melges was the only one from Wisconsin. Melges was born in Elkhorn and lived in Zelda. Allen was from Minneapolis and Bentsen from Chicago. Bentsen graduated undergrad from the same school as my wife, Denison in Ohio.
