Ryder News for June 13, 2019
Ha Ha John McGrath, the twins did win one game against Cleveland and are still 10 games ahead of them, so Ha Ha!
For those of you that don’t know...John, my son-in-law, being from Ohio
is of course rooting for the Cleveland Indians baseball team and I am
all for the Minnesota Twins! There was a series of 3 games between the 2
teams last week and of course smart remarks were made between the two
of us!!

Mystery Photo
|
We
have a new mystery photo. This little guy grew up in the surrounding
area, has 3 siblings and still lives in the area. He is probably 2 or 3
in the picture. Any guesses as to who he could be?

Grace Magandy’s great granddaughter, Kaylee with her rebounding trophy
|
Grace Magandy’s great granddaughter, Kaylee Magandy won a trophy at Trooper Camp in Garrison for Best Rebounding in her age group. She is the daughter of Chris and Carrie Magandy of Garrison. Congratulations, Kaylee!
We had a little rain storm go through Ryder on Sunday. The storm left .28 of an inch in the rain gauge along with some small hail on the ground.
Well, the mystery photo lady was identified as Lena Geving. Lorraine Nelson, Sonja Kline and Wendell Hjelmstad had the correct answer. Wendell said this, “Hi, Sue, I do believe the mystery photo is Lena Geving, hope I'm right.
Sorry
to hear of Derald Larsen's passing, we were classmates thru much of
grade school and all of high school and grew up on adjoining farms south
of Ryder. the grade school was called west Centerville.”
John
and Janice Warner recently were on a Scandinavian ocean cruise vacation
with three of John's Leon Warner cousins and spouses. The cities
visited were Stockholm, Sweden; Helsinki, Finland; St. Petersburg,
Russia; Tallinn, Estonia; Gdansk, Poland; Berlin, Germany; Copenhagen
and Alborg, Denmark; Stavanger-Eid fjord and Bergen, Norway. Then they
added a three day
excursion to Reykjavik Iceland. Every port stop included a city tour to
learn about the history of the country and the city, or other tours
were available to include a more up front
learning experience, or traveling to the countryside. They visited
many churches, Palaces, city halls, museums, opera houses and theaters
with architectural points of interest, ate local foods and drank local
beer and wine. Many sites are listed as world UNESCO heritage sites.
Narrow streets, canals with gondola boats, fjords, National parks, and
of course shopping. Janice celebrated her birthday while on vacation and
the family group went to the ballet Swan Lake at the famous Mariinsky
Theatre. A very exciting evening! Upon returning to the ship, there was
a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne in their room. Another
highlight was soaking in the hot spring waters of the Blue Lagoon in
Reykjavik. This water is heated geo-thermally, and is about 65% sea
water and very comforting. They visited a volcano creator, waterfalls
and learned about life on an island. Janice said it was a good thing
they took lots of pictures as it's hard to separate the days and cities
activities. Vacationing is hard work!
My sister-in-law, Debbie Ludwig was the bingo winner of the consolation prize of $66 in Friday night’s last game of the evening.

The Soo Line Sunday School Convention June 20, 1937

Hiddenwood Presbyterian Church in 1916
|
Julie Brandvold posted this on the Ryder, North Dakota website: A letter from a nice gentlemen that I would like to share…”I
have a couple of things from Ryder’s past that folks might find
interesting. My name is Dave Ford, and my dad, Rev James H Ford was a
student pastor at the Ryder Presbyterian Church, Mt Zion Presbyterian
Church and Hiddenwood
Presbyterian Church for several months around the summer of 1937. There
is a bulletin from The Soo-Line Sunday School Convention June 20, 1937
that I am sharing. I am also sharing an old picture of the Hiddenwood
Presbyterian Church. I have mentioned that in his papers about it being
one of the three churches he served as a student pastor in 1937. I found when the church building was sold and moved to another small town and used as a Lutheran Church (I believe it was moved to Roseglen). About a month ago I found a picture of the Hiddenwood
Presbyterian Church in the North Dakota State Digital Archives. I
believe this picture was taken in 1916 (dad was there in 1937). Thanks
for any information you might have or any direction you might be able to
steer me. Finding this stuff in my dad’s papers was pretty exciting
within our family. He passed away in 1998 and I just found this stuff
last year. We didn’t realize we had anything like this. Most of the
family weren’t aware of the time spent in these churches as it was three years before he was ordained as a minister.”
You can reach Dave Ford at his e-mail dfrd@cox.net if you have any information for him.

Wanda Bjordahl
said she, her family and Bud’s family very much appreciate the
designing and setting up the memorial in the Ryder Park by Peggy Reinisch
in memory of Bud Karna. She really went far and above what was
requested. She said she really appreciates this tribute and for Peggy’s
ingenuity in putting it together. Let us not forget, when it comes time
to donate to other community organizations in Ryder, we should also
remember to include the Ryder Park!
Don’t forget the Hiddenwood Picnic on June 23rd. There will be lots of good potluck food, entertainment, games for the kids and prize drawings.
