DANCING WITH OUR SIERRA STARS 2023

Larry Heifetz

Retired Physician

Since piano lessons in elementary school, Larry Heifetz always stamped his foot to whatever rhythm the piece was written for. Whether that rhythm matched the tempo of his fingers didn’t seem to matter. That foot helped him maintain the beat in numerous blues bands, unfortunately causing frequent conflicts with drummers and bass players. Being a “Sierra Star” is a greater honor than having founded the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center.
