The Ray Rye family on their 25th anniversary

Orv and Dolly Bakk were the instigators of the honoring of Ray's family on this occassion.Orv called
Ray and told him that they were just passing through town and didn't have time to come to Ray's home and that they should come to the hotel. When they arrived all of the relatives were gathered in a ballroom and the surprise was complete and Ray and Sandy were speechless.
Sandy's Easter letter was a very beautiful testimonial to the miracle of Ray's many recoveries from affliction. I will ask her permission to post it on this site. Sandy reports that Ray is in therapy and stood up the other day even though it was not an easy task.
This party took place in Eau Claire, Wi., where the Ryes live.
