The king of the castle

Sculptor Mel Shipley (left) and Rogues Manor Castle owner Smith Treuer posed for a photo-op in front of the enormous fireplace that is part of Treuer's work- in-progress castle in Beaver. Approximately 1,000 people showed up Saturday afternoon to view the Castle and to witness the unveiling of Shipley's bronzed dragon mantel commissioned by Treuer. Musicians Talat and Cameron Dunaway entertained guests from above.  Lovely County Citizen, May 23, 2007. Photo by John Rankine.
