Rosalee (Rosie) Smith has been visiting Tahoe since 1945 when she camped with her family at D.L. Bliss State Park. This began her love for the California State Parks at Lake Tahoe. She has had a cabin on Tahoe’s West Shore since 1968 and makes it her summer home now. She volunteered to help in the parks in 2000 and has been involved with Living History Day at Sugar Pine Point State Park. She is a docent at the Vikingsholm Castle and Hellman-Ehrman Mansion and volunteers at the Sierra State Park Visitor Centers.
Originally from Palo Alto, CA, Sarah spent her childhood summers living in Emerald Bay/Vikingsholm at Lake Tahoe as her Mother, Dr. Helen H. Smith was a Seasonal Interpretive Specialist for California State Parks for 47 summers at Emerald Bay and has continued to travel to Tahoe and her beloved Emerald Bay each summer since leaving California in 1979. Sarah and her family enjoy the splendor of the Tahoe/Donner State Parks each year.
