Rademachers lauded by LLLA

The second careers of Lonnie and Carol Rademacher come with no compensation, but they sure sound rewarding.

“We think that maybe next week it will slow down a bit, but it’s all for the good of the lake and the community,” said Carol, a retired teacher of 35 years and former girls basketball and volleyball coach. “We both enjoy keeping busy.”

And busy they are, devoting hour after hour toward the work of the Lake Leelanau Lake Association (LLLA) and the Friends of Lake Leelanau Foundation. The Rademachers, who reside in Bingham Township, have been named recipients of the LLLA “Living Legends Award.”
