June Laudeman:'The Rose Lady'

By JIM BRODERICK Staff Writer “Leisure is actually more an attitude toward life than just free time or recreation.” So believes June Laudeman, long-time resident of the MilfordSyracuse Area. Mrs. Laudeman, who lives on Syracuse Lake with her husband Robert, has had an active, travel- - filled life. In 40 years years of marriage, the Laudemans have seen 49 states, (and are hoping to get to Alalska), and 40 foreign countries. Profile But for all of her international activities, Mrs. Laudeman would prefer to be known only as ‘The Rose Lady.” “I give away at least 100 choice roses to friends each summer,” said Laudeman, who has given away over 180 of the home-grown gifts this summer. “Looking at a beautiful rose, and then deciding who to give it to helps to keep my faith with me all the time. I try to do a good deed for someone every day.” Doing a good deed for someone seems to be just one way for Mrs. Laudeman to reflect what she believes is the essential element for making life work: kindness, “kindness is the greatest lever to move the heart that the world has ever known. Kindness is the kingpin of success in life; it is the prime factor in overcoming friction and making the human machinery run smoothly.” Mrs. Laudeman acquired her education in life through educating others. She began a 45-year teaching career in Milford, after!having graduated

They include one that features rooms that are completely open on one side to fabulous views of beaches and sea. There are also a number of deluxe resorts and villa-type properties, and an all-inclusive resort for singles as well. Sightseeing is very worthwhile and well-organized.

from Manchester College. After her first ten years of teaching, she embarked on her graduate studies at Indiana State University. She has spent the last ten years as a substitute teacher, both locally and in her winter residence in Avon Park, Fla. “If I add anything to the lives of the young people I teach,” she said, “rest assured they add a great deal to mine. They activate the adrenaline and force me to search my mind.” When Mrs. Laudeman isn’t being called upon to impart her wisdom on the local youth, she is busy laboring in her garden, raising prize-winning flowers, as well as an abundance of vegetables, which she also gives away. “Roses require lots of work and care,” said Mrs. Laudeman. “They have an irresistible combination of elegance and charm, thorny strength and satinpetaled delicacy.” A poetic touch pervades most of June Laudeman’s speech, coloring her words with the beauty of the roses she adores. A further reason for her flowery prose may be that she is an accomplished author, remaining today an active writer and contributor to magazines such as “Instructor,” “Indiana State Board of Health Bulletin,” and the daily devotional guide, “The Upper Room,” which is translated into 43 languages. Not only is Mrs. Laudeman a prolific writer, but she claims to be an avid reader as well. Her Florida residence “is only one block from a wonderful public library.” Last winter, she read 52 books. Mrs. Laudeman also enjoys walking. “I take a brisk walk every day. I’m my own cleaning lady, and I cook. And I’ve always had excellent health.” When she left her full time teaching career, Mrs. Laudeman said she had accumulated over 100 unused‘sick days’. “You should stay productive until they wheel you out,”'Mrs. Laudeman said.
