Mr. President. I wish to pay tribute to June Salander of Rutland. VT. On June 28. 2008. June will celebrate her 100th birthday. June Salander has led a remarkable life. Like many Jewish immigrants. she came to the United States via Ellis Island in 1920 after a journey from Ros. Poland. making the trip with her mother. brother. and sister. Family and a supportive Jewish community were always positioned as cornerstones of Junes upbringing. In 1941 she married her husband Lew Salander and moved to Rutland. VT. where she has remained an active community member ever since. A strong believer in the idea that it takes a village to raise a child.
