Treehouse Pays Tribute to Sister

Stretching between two towering pines, the treehouse seems like something out of “The Swiss Family Robinson.” It’s a place where imagination and adventure can thrive, but it’s also something more – a memorial to a vibrant woman who died much too young. Brendan Wiechert always wanted to build a treehouse for his children Emma, 12, and Calen, 9. “I had an idyllic childhood,” he said. “We lived in a neighborhood with 12 kids and we’d play hide-and-seek, four-square, football.” His younger sister, Megan, was usually part of their outdoor adventures. “I called her ‘Meech,’ ” he said. Megan Alden died in December at age 40 after battling ocular melanoma for three years. She left behind a husband, two young daughters, and a host of family and friends who miss her brilliant smile and abundant energy/ Cindy Hval , SR. More here. (SR photo: Jesse Tinsley)
