Johnson, Stan Hjelmstad.

Stan
Hjelmstad shared a Navy picture.
"These
4 young men all attended Ryder High. They all enlisted in the Navy in 1948.
Merle Anderson died in 2000, Lowell Sorenson in 2012 and Joe Johnson in 2015.
This leaves just Stan Hjelmstad, left of the group! He has many great memories
from his Ryder days that include these men and others. Stan wanted to wish
everyone a Happy New Year and hope 2017 is a great one."

Some of the snowmobiles in the Ryder Poker Run on Jan. 7.

There was
a snowmobile poker run on Saturday Jan. 7th. Riders started in Ryder and then
went to Plaza, Makoti, Douglas and back to Ryder. I managed to snag a picture
from Facebook of some of the machines in Ryder.

The children of Arnold and Elizabeth Larson.
|
I managed
to get another picture from Facebook and it is the children of Arnold and
Elizabeth Larson. Kenny was able to name them all and also knew that the baby
was missing from the picture. Does anyone else want to try and name them in
order and then send the answer to me. And just who is the missing baby??
