Many thanks to a number of SWLing Post contributors who shared the following sad news from Radio Havana Cuba. I’m sure many of you have heard Rosario Lafita on the air and perhaps even corresponded with her as she also confirmed listener reports:

Dear listener:

With great regret, we inform you that journalist Rosario Lafita Fernández, died on the morning of April 4th last.

She was considered as an exemplary worker of Radio Havana Cuba for almost 40 years, the last 10 in charge of

the International Correspondence Department.

Her legacy, as an integral professional, will remain forever in our minds and hearts.

From this moment, we’ll continue the communicative work she directed with love and deep conviction that the most

important thing, for each member of this Department, is to maintain the personalized attention to each one of you.

Fraternally,

Department of International Correspondence

Radio Havana Cuba
