Surprise Party On 35th Wedding Anniversary

It was really a surprise when close friends and long-time neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Ryckman of Tulelake, arrived to help them remember the day of their wedding thirty-five years ago in Seattle.

Their wedding day was August 19. After living in Wapato, Washington, for a time they came to Tulelake as one of the group of 1938 homesteaders to settle in a new land. They since have become identified with many organizations, in civic, social and church work. In recent years they spend part of their summers at their home on Shasta Lake.

TULELAKE — Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Ryckman, who have lived in this community since 1938 when they homesteaded the land they still live on, were delightfully honored on the 25th anniversary of their wedding day on August 19. They were married in Seattle.

It was a surprise party, arranged by their daughter, Mrs. Hodie Gatliff and son Norman Ryckman, both of Tulelake. Mr. and Mrs. Gatliff had invited Mr. and Mrs. Ryckman to dinner at the Gatliff home. Following dessert, by prearrangement, 80 long-time friends and neighbors arrived to offer congratulations.

The party moved to the Tulelake Grange Hall where Mr. and Mrs. Ryckman were presented with a "bag of silver."

Added entertainment during the evening included a humorous skit, "Memories," put on by Mr. and Mrs. J. Merton Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Campbell, neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Ryckman in Wapato, Washington, before they moved to Tulelake. Mrs. Norman Bradbury sang "Loves Old Sweet Song," and "When You and I Were Young Maggie," with Mrs. Otto Haynes at the piano.

Mrs. Leonard Meshe gave a parody on Edgar Guest's "Let Me Live in a House By the Side of the Road," and Marvis Keyser, sang "Blessed the Tie That Binds."

Mrs. Carl Jensen arranged the program.

The attractive refreshment table was centered with a pink and white wedding cake complemented with arrangements of pink gladioli.

Mr. and Mrs. Ryckman have been identified with many civic, social and church activities during the years they have lived here. They have a second daughter, Mrs. Clinton Nelson of Gridley, California and five grandchildren.
