WALTER--Rosalind P. The Board of Trustees, staff, and volunteers of WNET are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved trustee Rosalind P. Walter, who was for more than 30 years a remarkable ambassador and advocate and the most generous individual supporter of WNET in its history. Roz gave extraordinary support to countless programs and series, including American Masters, which she helped to launch; Great Performances; NYC-Arts; Treasures of New York; NATURE; PBS NewsHour Weekend; Metrofocus; Amanpour and Company; ALL ARTS, the work of Ken and Ric Burns and countless special programs. Roz cared deeply about the quality and educational value of public television. She was an inspiration to the millions of viewers who benefited from her generosity -- and who saw her name every evening in connection with their favorite programs. Roz will be dearly missed by all of us at WNET. She was a beloved pioneer and a great friend. We extend our sincerest sympathies to her family. Edgar Wachenheim III, Chairman; Neal Shapiro, President and CEO

Hats off to another Rosie the Riveter! Here's the 1st paragraph of Alice Hughes' syndicated column about then-Rosalind Palmer, July 1943: Probably the most popular pet name around the country for a woman factory worker is "Rosie the Riveter. It is a national gagbut not in our town. We really have a Rosie the Riveter, who is Rosalind Palmer, 19, a dark-tressed society doll, who has just finished a year of hard work as a night shift welder at the Sikorsky aircraft plant at Bridgeport. Conn. The song was a hit and its title a popular appellation for months by the time Hughes met her in New York and was thus inspired to celebrate her in the July 17, 1943 installment of her syndicated column. Her latter-day whimsical notion that Hughes' column about her inspired the song notwithstanding, hats off.

As I have written in other notes of condolence to families of U.S. Servicemen and women: "Thank you for your service." The contribution of the war workers was just as crucial as that of the millions of soldiers, sailors and airmen. Along with the aircraft you turned out you also inspired a song that was a moral booster for the men and women overseas.The song helped to recruit thousands of women to sign up for factory jobs who might have otherwise stayed at home orworked in more "feminine" jobs.

Condolences to the family for your loss, and we thank Rosalind for her service in the war effort. I had never heard that she was an heiress; what an exemplary illustration of character, that she would get in and roll up her sleeves and work as hard as anyone else, and not just for a quick photo op as so many do today. May Rosalind rest in peace, and may God comfort her family and friends.
March 6, 2020
My sincere condolences to the family. May your hearts be filled with the precious memories of your dear loved one, today, tomorrow and always.

Thank you for your service and dedication to America during a critical time of need. America need to build its fighting machines to help defeat our enemies and end the war. We could not do this without people like yourself and others that helped build fighter planes and bombers effectively and as rapidly as possible. May God Bless You Always! Rest in Peace...

Every time I watch a PBS show (which is all the time because I am a very small sustaining member) I see her name at the end during the credits. Thank you for your very generous support. I am sure that she fought to help save PBS when the government wants to cut its funding. Again, thank you for your generosity. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
