We are saddened to share with you that we have lost one of our favorite people, Rosie, who many of you know as the lady who dressed your fish at the boat dock. Last year, Rosie was diagnosed with cancer, and though she fought hard through treatment, she succumbed to the illness this week. We know so many of you considered her a friend and spent dozens of afternoons talking with her as she performed the job she loved. She missed getting to spend that time with you last fall and this spring; you were a special part of her life. The dock will not be the same without her, and we will never find a true replacement. We will miss her dearly.

If you would like to honor her memory, Steve McCadams, the well-known Kentucky Lake fishing guide and old friend of Rosie’s, has set up a memorial for her at his June 9th Casting for a Cure Kid’s Fishing Rodeo. A contribution will be donated to the American Cancer Society in Rosie’s name; donations can be sent to Steve McCadams Casting for a Cure Rodeo, 655 Anderson Drive, Paris, TN 38242.
