Ryder News for Sept. 24, 2020
Wow, I sure had a lot of responses to the picture of Lena Johansen’s birthday party from 1977. Some of the responses were: Nancy
Shuelke said, “Thanks Sue! Love this picture.” Jan Bleecker said,
“Thank you for sharing.” Sheryl Erb Tolson said, “Thanks Sue. The
picture of these Ryder ladies is a treasure.” Elaine Alderman said,
“It's neat to see pictures like these. A lot of nice ladies and so many
have gone to a better place.” Tara Tabor said, “Faces I remember from my
childhood....thank you.” Dana Johansen Smith said, “I see my Grandma, Great-Grandma, and Great Aunt!!”

Avery
Cree shot her first deer on her 12th birthday on her grandpa Dave
Kimball’s land, not even an hour after the youth season opened. Gramma
and grandpa Kimball, and her parents, Carl and Crystal Cree are very
proud of her!
We
lost another 1947 Ryder graduate on Sept. 17th. Marion Olson Quick
passed away that day from a stroke. She was the daughter of Albert and
Hazel Bowen Olson and had one brother, Ray Olson, who managed the Ryder
Coop Creamery for a number of years. Marion attended all 12 years of
school in Ryder. She had 3 daughters one of which lives in Minot.
If
any of my readers know of any members from the class of 1947 that are
still living, please let me (Sue) know. This is info that is collected
for the Ryder Museum records.
Food Pantry News:
With
Covid 19 making its way into our rural area, we will have to hunker
down and change things at the Food Pantry in Ryder once more. Masks and
gloves have to be worn at all times! No kids, and only 2 people at a
time. Please remember to have a list ready, because the time in the food
pantry will be limited!! Please be respectful, we have no choice (you
all have been angels). If you can’t make it Saturday, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
please call, so we can get you in at another time!
Thank You!!

| Classic Car Show in Makoti |
I
didn’t make it to the Classic Car Show in Makoti but I did manage to
get a picture. It sounded like there were lots of cars and people taking
in the event.
My
wonderful son-in-law, John McGrath, got everything ready so the AC and
Heating guys could come in and finish hooking up my air conditioner and
check out the furnace in my new home. He also installed 3 photo cell
lights on my new garage. Sure is nice to be related to someone that can
do all this stuff for me!
I’m
still waiting for the garage doors to be installed on my garage. I also
need to have 2 sets of steps built so we can get in and out of my home.
Those trailer house steps that they give you just aren’t very sturdy.
The interior guys are finishing up in the house today, they even
shampooed the carpets! I hired a painter to come in and paint for me so I
have to let her know when the interior is ready. I also have to hire a
moving company to move all my stuff over there. I had planned on having
my family and friends do the moving but that will just take too long. I
think it is better to get it all done at once and be done with it. It
will probably take me months tho to find a place for everything!
