Ryder News for Aug.
24, 2017
Our little 3 year old grandson Levi
Sprinkle fell ill this weekend and spent some time in the Garrison ER and also
the Bismarck ER and hospital. He woke up with his eyes swollen shut and a
terrible headache and was having trouble breathing. So lots of trips were made
by his parents back and forth between Garrison, Ryder and Bismarck. At first
Garrison thought he had the flu and sent him home but he just got worse so back
to Garrison ER and a trip by ambulance to Bismarck. After being looked at in
the Bismarck ER it was decided on a CT scan and later he was admitted to
hospital so an MRI could be done. It was discovered that he has a sinus
disease, possible migraines and they want to check him for West Nile Disease. I
guess there is a Dr. in Fargo that works with sinus disease so they will be
checking into that.

Don Alderman’s fish
|
Don and Elaine Alderman had a houseful of
company this last week with Dennis and LuAnn Borrison coming to visit and then
a few days later Troy Alderman came to visit his folks and take in some fishing
on his dad’s new boat. He also came up for Colin Stubley’s memorial. He got to
do a lot of visiting with old friends and to spend some time with his
grandkids, Noah and Teigan. Troy was only here for 3 days but he crammed a lot
of fun into those days.
The Kimball,
Bogert, McCallum, and Cree families celebrated birthdays and Kathy Kimball’s
retirement at the Hiddenwood Lake picnic area the last week of July. There were
over 50 friends and family from all over the U. S. that came to help celebrate
with them. A lot camped over the whole weekend or stayed at the Kimball
Farmstead. The weather was great! And a good time was had by all. Kathy and Dave would like to tell all of
those who helped them celebrate that they really appreciate it!!
August 15th Kathy
and Dave celebrated their 30th anniversary at the Olive Garden with their kids
and 9 of their grandkids and also to wish their Grandson, Carlos, Happy
Travels, as he moves on to new beginnings in his life in Montana. Carlos
graduated high school in Minot this spring.

The North Shore class of 1974 and 1975
|
The North Shore class of 1974 and 1975 met on the
riverboat in Bismarck on August 5th. We had a blast! We also visited all
evening in our motel. It was like we had never been apart A few from the class
of 1978 joined us also. Those in the picture are Tondi (Erb) McGuire, Denise
(Brandt) Downs, Debbie (Brandvold) Peterson, Cindy (Zieman) Burckhard, Karen
(Matz) Worthy, Tami (Skarsgard) Haugen, Lenyce (Hove) Simmons, Donna (Giesen)
Wheeling, Debbie (Brandt) Stafslien, Jody (Stafslien) Schmidt, Gayle (Wurtz)
Hofland, Annette (Bofenkamp) Nelson, Joan (Rensch) Stafslien, Laurel (Larson)
Myers, Darlah (Karna) Rensch and Mary (Rensch) Karna.
The Parshall High School graduating class of 1965 had a
70th birthday celebration this past Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in
Bismarck. It was 3 days of fun from what I hear. Kenny and I didn’t attend as
we knew we couldn’t stay for 3 days and his COPD makes it hard for him to do
much visiting and standing around. I guess I could have gone but hated to leave
him home alone. I guess Dick and I are the only ones of the class that haven’t
turned 70 yet...not til next year! The first evening (Tues) they all had supper
at The Bistro Supper Club. They went on the riverboat on Wednesday and on
Thursday morning as everyone was getting ready to leave they all met at the
Cracker Barrel for breakfast.
One of the classmates said, “What a wonderful time we had
at the birthday party for the class of 1965 from Parshall, ND. We partied,
laughed, ate lots, did a riverboat cruise and forgot to go to bed. We are
almost too old for this! Thanks everyone for coming and sharing many memories
and stories with us. Shall we start planning the next one?”
Those classmates attending were Dick Ludwig, Alan Lerberg,
Larry Walsh, Mick Johnson, Joan Nelson, Diana Baker, Val Mickelson, Nikki
Miller, Dick Hauge, Royal Lyson, Gene Meyers, Roger Meyers, Gerry Hedberg,
Terry Auch, Larry Frink and Bonnie Kilber.
I didn’t include the spouses or invited guests in this
listing, just the classmates and I sure hope I didn’t forget anyone!!

Daniel Starks and Joleen Hauf
|
Last week on Monday, Daniel Starks performed gospel and
50’s & 60’s music at Dakota Terrace in Minot. After the concert, it was fun
to visit with Joleen Hauf, a former Makoti resident. The next day, Daniel also had a concert for
the Garrison Hospital Nursing residents. He enjoys performing and his audiences
tell him that they love his music. Daniel had his dad, Pastor Jonathan Starks,
join him in singing “Heartaches by the Number”, a folk song medley, and a few
gospel songs. Daniel is looking forward to performing at the Norsk Hostfest in
September.
