In honor of the Poet Laureate of Rosedale - Bill Naylor

 

In 2004 the "Poet Laureate" of Rosedale, the late Bill Naylor, composed a tribute poem in honor of the founder of the Rosedale Ryder Cup, Dave Stock. He continued to compose new poems  until he moved to Sun City in 2010 when he passed the "mantle" on to me. I continued the tradition until 2013. Below are all the poems, along with a "Thank-You" note we received from Bill and his wife, Mary, after his 2010 farewell visit. Perhaps someone in the future will again add to this "treasure trove" of Rosedale Ryder Cup compositions.
