"George Trancheff Memorial Swing"


The swing arrived 3 years ago as an anniversary gift from all the kids for us to enjoy at the lake ----- and it has been enjoyed! Well, it reminded all of us of another swing that we enjoyed for many summers at a small resort on Lake Vermilion. That week was always enjoyed - it usually included mini family reunions with my "Range relatives" - extra time with my parents - and of course fishing and enjoying the lake ---- and the stars shine the brightest up north. Anyway there was this swing that was unique. The owner of the resort was George & Maryann Trancheff. George had worked in the underground mine at Tower Soudan for many years. We think he was a "creative genius." He had the most interesting "things/contraptions" around the resort. Well there was this swing and since getting it Abby has given accessories for the swing that mimics George's swing. Each occasion she & Dan have given ropes, hooks, fly swatters, and now for Father's Day the sign. Please note - one more thing to add is the awning - then the sign will be put into place. So when anyone comes to the lake for a visit be sure to enjoy the swing by the lake. I can still hear the kids splashing in the water! Thanks Ab & Dan!
