We must say a sad farewell to our friend Marie Trankina, vital member of our Chicago Croquet Club community, who passed away this summer. Marie served for many years on the Board of Directors as Secretary, assiduously recording and archiving meetings, offering prudent input, and volunteering to pitch in wherever needed. She was an eager competitor, rarely missing a Saturday on the lawn with the gang of regulars. Marie impressed everyone with her bravery and stoicism. Friends described her as energetic, vibrant, and strong. She gave it her all and will be greatly missed.
