Rocky called me about building a transom for her home in Semmes, Alabama just west of Mobile. After living in her house for 20+ years she and her husband were doing a complete remodel and were adding a magnificent Theatre room (complete with a popcorn machine) and a Pool room. She had an idea for a pool oriented transom between the two rooms.

Since they were just an hour away, I drove to visit them. Her husband Keith and I discussed size possibilities for a transom. He then created a 10' wide x 13" opening and I agreed to build a 3 piece transom with a 5' central transom and a 2 1/2' transom on each end. I left Rocky with a box of several hundred glass samples. Over the next few months, we evolved the current design. Rocky has a very creative flair and carefully chose every color.
This was quite a challenging project with about 265 individual pieces of glass and with a lot of complicated glass cuts.

Rocky was gracious enough to send "after construction" photos after the transom was installed and the remodeling was finished. She and her husband installed changing color LED lights behind the transoms so they could create their own light shows in their theatre/game/entertainment room. Their house was a ground up restoration filled with those creative ideas that few of us ever have a chance to do ....an amazing and unique project. Rocky and Keith are some of the most fun people I have worked with. Even though I built the stained glass transom, it was Rocky's creative genius that made it happen.

Sadly, Rocky's husband Keith lost a long and courageously fought battle with Cancer and passed away in June, 2025. He was a self made, hard working, community involved guy that was loved by everyone. I wish I could have known him better! This stained glass piece is dedicated to the memory of Keith Fremin!
