Many Mini-School romances have culminated in marriage. One of the neatest ones took place June 29, 1985, between Mike Fronius (81) and Tana Swenson (84). These two fine folks were real involved students in Mini-School during their times in the program, and remain real strong supporters of Mini-School.
Mike works at American Movers. He began as a moving worker and has now worked his way into an office job. He is an excellent fisherman (on Mini-School canoe trips, he could usually be counted on to feed the crew) and also is an excellent golfer.
Tana works at the Pizza Platter in Shorewood and has since she was in Mini-School. Along with her mom and sister and current Mini-Schooler Leslie Zaun, they practically run the place. Tana is also real busy these days being a mom, as she and Mike became parents of a girl, Sara Ann Fronius, on Aug. 18, 1986. She and big Mike are real excited about being new parents. Tana says that big Mike becomes a real marshmallow when Sara Ann works her magic on him.
Tana is interested in getting involved in Women’s Studies with Lester again and Mike would like to help out with a trip sometime. That would be great if it can be worked out. These two are always behind Mini-School and Mini-School will always have a spot in its heart for them. They’re a great couple.
