Musical Rosie

Okay, how many of you in our Northeast High 1958 class have written music that somebody else made into a record?

Rosa Lee Ramsey-McKnight is holding up her hand. Maybe you remember her as Joyce Crow's Siamese twin and best friend during our high school years. But she's created herself a musical career since she said good-bye to us on Graduation Night.

For 12 years or so, she's been singing in a gospel group that travels quite a bit. And she tells us that she likes to write both songs and stories. Two of her songs were recorded by a local singer. He took one of them to Nashville (The Capital of Country Music) for a recording session. She says that Kenny Price wanted to record her song but some Grinches in the music business said no.

If you drop by Rosie's church in Waco, KY on a Sunday morning, you'll find her doing the "Children's Moment" for the youngsters sitting on the front pew.

And did you know at the ripe young age of 47, she graduated from a medical secretarial course! Actually the business college where she trained hired her to do all their financial aid and student loans, so she never got around to finding a doctor's office to work for.

She has two children (Chuck and Pam) and two grandchildren.
