Ryder News for Sept. 15, 2016
Where were you on the morning of 9/11? Where were you when
the world stopped turning? I was watching tv and saw the first plane hit a
tower. I thought what a terrible accident, that something had gone wrong with
the control tower or the pilot/copilot of the plane. Then...the second plane
hit the other tower and I knew that it was a deliberate act. An act of
terrorism and our world, our safe little world had been changed forever! My
thoughts and prayers go out to all the families impacted by this act of terrorism.
May we never have to go through something like this again.

Melcie Pederson at Parshall’s Broste Museum
|
Dick Ludwig took his sister-in-law Melcie Pederson to the Harvest Fest in Parshall, ND Sunday
afternoon and they also made a stop at the Broste Rock Museum. He said it is a
very interesting place with hundreds of unique rock spheres and much more. He
said his wife Deb was in Minot helping their daughter
Carmella Evanson paint
her kitchen, so she missed out.
I received a phone call from Donna Shafer and she told me
she had been to visit her husband Herb’s
grave at Ryder’s Rosehill Cemetery. She said she noticed that the wooden and
barbed wire cross decoration that Kelly had made for the grave was missing. She
is wondering if anyone knows what has happened to it. If you have any
information she would appreciate a phone call at 701-463-2354.

Former Church of God/German Lutheran Church being burned by
owners.
|
The old former Church of God and German Lutheran Church was
finally torn down and burned this last week by the owners. I was told that this
church used to be somewhere in the vicinity of Ted’s Garage and then later
moved.
There will be a Breakfast Benefit for Maureen Hagen on Sept.
25, 2016 at the Ryder Community Center/Gym from 8:30-1 to help with her medical
expenses. This benefit is sponsored by the Old Ryder Jaycees and Thrivent funds
have been applied for.
I have been seriously thinking about quitting this column. I
am receiving very little news but I see that there are certain people who are
sending their news items and photos to the Ryder, North Dakota facebook page
instead. If they feel that they can’t or won’t send news to me and since I have
been chastised for using some of the news from that page to put into mine for
my readers, then I feel it may be time to hang up the old laptop and call it
quits. By the way, I notice that someone is taking my news, Sue’s News, from
it’s Facebook page and putting it on the Ryder North Dakota page. Hmmm.
Upcoming Events:
Sept. 18: Worship services at Ryder’s
Calvary Church at 10:30 a.m.
Sept. 25: Breakfast Benefit for Maureen
Hagen at Ryder’s Community Club/Gym 8:30-1
That’s it for the week and it remains to
be seen if there will be a column next week!
