Ryder News for Jan. 16, 2020 

Johnny McGrath plays basketball on a 5th grade team at his school in Minot. Staci always videos the games and has them on Facebook Live so I can watch them. I have this gadget on my TV that lets me screen mirror things from my cell phone. So I had the game live on my big screen TV. It sure is fun to watch him but doesn’t do any good when I yell, he can’t hear me!! 

Last week I said that Evelyth Wohlk turned 101 on Dec. 30th and now I have names of the ones she celebrated with. She celebrated that milestone birthday on New Years day with Lydell and Wendy Wohlk, Brian, Heidi, Dalton and Triston Walsh, Nathan, Lanie, Nia, Jetta and Jaeda Wohlk, Nicole, Teagan, Leila, Alivia and Savaily Bennett, Verle and Sandra Rouse, Mabel Ike, Clarence, Darci and Julie Behles, Derrick, Darla, Dannika, Dillian and Devan Rassmussen, Gloria and Emma Carbajol. Following the meal everyone had a fun time playing bingo and visiting.  

I received an email the other day from a gentleman by the name of Wayne King and he said, “I recently moved and going  though some of my parents stuff I found a 1922 old gold and black high school annual from Ryder High School. If anyone is interested in it I would mail it to them. Thanks.  Wayne King. Worthing, SD.” I told him that the museum was probably interested in it and to mail it to me and I would get it to the correct people to which he replied, “Will do.” 

My birthday was Sunday, Jan. 12th and I celebrated with Staci, John and Johnny McGrath. It was also Johnny’s birthday and my brother and his wife’s birthday as well. John McGrath just missed being one of the special people by  days as his birthday is on Jan. 14th. I received a nice gift and they also took me out to dinner that day. We finished up with birthday cake at their home. I had a wonderful time and if I didn’t have 3 dogs and a cat at home, I’d have loved to stay longer!  I also received 86 birthday wishes from friends on Facebook!
