Welcome to the Ryken Reunion blog!

Merry Christmas Ryken Family!

Mom(Lane Christine Ryken Bailey) and I (Nora) have been toying with the idea of creating a Ryken Reunion blog, so we can have a one-stop place for Ryken family to visit and post pictures and learn more about our family history AND put dates for a REUNION! Yep, I said it. I want to see you all. I want to know what you are doing and how you are doing. I want a date to look forward to seeing you.

So, I'm gonna throw out the date: August of 2011...let's do this Ryken people!!!

• Can someone in the Bay Area look at places, like the Marina or a big park, where we all can bring a dish of food and maybe $10 for hot dogs and burgers and we can play for the day!! What do you say??

• Any volunteers? Beuller? Beuller?

In the meantime, I am going to send you all info on how to post to this blog, so you can add pictures and entries of family history or information on what you are up today.
