Ryder News for Oct. 3, 2019
What lousy weather they had for the Makoti
Threshing Show on Saturday with wind, rain and cold weather. Sorry to
say, but the Threshing Show scheduled for Sunday was canceled due to the
large amounts of rain Saturday night. The threshing ground was swamped.
Now it is Monday when I’m writing this and it is STILL raining!
Ugh...at least it isn’t snow like they had in Montana! My rain gauge is showing 1.20 inches for the 3 1/2 day
total and I’m hearing that the total rainfall varies from my 1.20 to
2.40. No matter what the total is, it is too much. I think most of us
have yards that look like swamps. I guess the ducks and geese are happy
and I even saw a frog or two!!

Kirby Jean DesRoches
was baptized at Zion Lutheran Church on Saturday evening by Pastor John
who held her during Baptism and took her all around the Congregation to
show their newest member to everyone while Kirby slept through the
whole event. Her proud parents are Alex and Kelsey and Big Sister Kallie
Jo, grandparents are Jody and Peggy Reinisch and Lorn and Corrina DesRoches. Everyone enjoyed supper and cake at Kirby’s home afterwards.

| Gus Mueller and Steve Morris, guest speakers at Louisiana Academy of Audiology meeting. |
Coincidentally, born and raised Ryderites
Gus Mueller and Steve Morris were both invited guest speakers at the
recent meeting of the Louisiana Academy of Audiology in New Orleans.
Their workshops were held on the day of an NDSU Bison football game, and
with both being big fans, they sported Bison duds for their talks
(albeit somewhat more subtly than usual). At the opening ceremony of
the event, Steve was awarded the Honors of the Association for his
support, promotion and mentoring of audiology in Louisiana for the past
35 years. Keeping the boys out of trouble on Bourbon Street was Marge Gurholt (Mrs Morris), also a Ryderite.
