Ryder News for March 5, 2020
I
guess that Mystery Photo from last week was just too easy as I received
lots of answers and they all correctly identified Danny Hoffer as the
Mystery Person. These were the clothes that he wore to his daughter
Katie’s wedding. He cleans up pretty nice. Ha Ha Danny, just have to
tease you a little! Hank and Almira Hoffer were his parents.

The
city of Ryder lost one of their residents this last week. Arthur R.
Miller, 43, Ryder, ND, passed away on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 from
injuries sustained in an accident in his garage. The Funeral Services
were held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday March 4th at the Plaza Hall. The doors
opened at 10 a.m. so people could stop in and sign the guest book. Our
sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
Well,
I suppose it had to come...I’m speaking of Daylight Savings Time! It
starts on March 8th and we lose an hour of sleep. Remember it’s spring
forward, fall back. I guess I’ll be crabbier that usual for awhile until
I get used to it!
Well,
since March came in like a lamb..I wonder what it will go out like! The
old saying is, “In like a lamb, out like a lion”, or "In like a lion, out like a lamb". It kinda scares me
with all the different kinds of weather we have been having, cold for a
few days and then nice and warm and then cold again. Then the Ides of
March are coming up and so are the basketball tournaments and it seems
that we always get a real good snowstorm along about that time!
The
North Dakota Community Foundation hosted it’s 53rd Annual North Dakota
Picnic on March 1st at Mesa’s Red Mountain Park. This picnic is a
gathering of anyone with North Dakota ties who either lives part time or
permanently in Arizona and features polka and oldies music, vendor
booths and a classic car display. Last year’s picnic drew about 2,000
people. There are quite a few snow birds from our area that attend this
picnic and I am hoping to get the names of some who attended so I can
share it in next week’s column.
