Ryder News for April 6, 2017
How many of you enjoyed playing April Fool’s tricks on
friends and family? Since it was dialysis day for Kenny I didn’t bother trying
to fool him altho I did have one in mind. I guess he pulled a few pranks on the
nurses in the dialysis unit. So if you have any good ones to tell about, maybe
you would like to share them with the rest of us!
So baseball season has started and the Minnesota Twins play
their first game of the season this afternoon, April 3rd. This will tie up my
evenings for quite a while as I just hate to miss a game no matter how mad I
get at them!

Harold Neukom and his 6-1/2 pound Walleye.

Kathy (Kronbach) Kallestad of Garrison sent a picture she
took on September 13, 1992, in Ryder, North Dakota, of her Uncle Harold Neukom
and the 6-1/2 pound Walleye he caught that day. Harold loved to fish! March 27, 2017, would have been his 90th
birthday.
I received a very nice letter from Allison Bostow -Beuchler
about the passing away of her uncle James Bowen. She had included his obit but
I did inform her that I had already put what I could about him in last week’s
news. Here is her letter.
“Hi Sue.
Thank you for keeping everyone informed on the happenings of
Ryder. I look forward to your weekly write ups, it gives me a sense of
connection back to my younger days when I would spend my summers with my
grandparents and grounds me back to where I came from which was rural North
Dakota. Life gets so busy and you remind me weekly to slow down and appreciate
right what's in front me. I thought I would share with you the passing of my
uncle James Bowen. The Bowen family
continues to remain quite close and even though we may only see each other once
a year, through technology we are all each a text or email away. I consider myself so lucky to grow up with so
many cousins and the Bowen family gatherings that I will never forget. Many
times over we are asked if there is one person we could sit down and have a
conversation with my answer has always been the same. My Grandma Bowen. Uncle
James obituary is at the link below.
Prayers to you as you continue your treatments
From: Allison Bostow -Beuchler/Minot Granddaughter of Jim and
Phyllis Bowen daughter of Scott and Betty Bostow formerly of Rural Douglas.”
Sheryl Erb Tolson also sent a short e mail. “I am saddened
to read of the death of another of my classmates from the 1963 class of Ryder.
Thank you for reporting, Sue. If not for you writing the news I would miss many
of the happenings.”
