Ryder News for May 7, 2015

   Ruth Wurtz had a long weekend on April 1st. Gordy and Mary Wurtz, their daughter Emily with hubby Michael Hegg and 7 month old Ryder came to Ryder to visit Grandma Ruth. Ryder had his picture taken with the Ryder sign by town. Also visiting on the weekend were Doug Wurtz, Denise and Harvey (Bub) Johnson. Bryan and Penny Wurtz also came to visit. This sounds like it was a fun and busy weekend.

     Grace Magandy had some surprise visitors at her home this past Sunday morning when she arrived home from church in Douglas. Her daughter Barbara Power from Logan, ND came to visit and brought along Grace’s granddaughter, Terri Roll and great granddaughter Elora Roll from Aberdeen, SD.   

   There was a large turnout of ladies for St. John’s annual Mother/Daughter luncheon this past Sunday. There were lots of delicious salads and I am sure everyone had enough to eat.  Marci Narum was the guest speaker.
