Ric Ryan the "Walking Man of Murphys" Named Murphys Irish Day Grand Marshal
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/04/2019 04:15 PM
Murphys, CA...Ric Ryan, who has earned the title of the Walking Man of Murphys, will be the Grand Marshal when the Murphys Irish Day parade makes its way down Main St on St. Patrick’s Day eve, Saturday, March 16 at 11 a.m. “We always try to select someone who has helped to make this such a special place,” says Carrie Nelson, who with her husband Gerry organizes the popular parade. “We think that Ric is a prime example.” Ryan, 72, who fought for his country in Vietnam, ended up having both knees and one hip replaced. In 2008, he saw a TV news story about UCLA Health’s Operation Mend. The program provides specialty medical and psychological health care for veterans injured in the line of duty and includes their families in the care. Inspired by the story, he embarked on a one-man fundraising campaign by collecting waves during his regular walks through Murphys. Each time someone in a passing car waved at him during a walk, which isn’t uncommon in this tight-knit small town, he would wave back and earmark 25 cents from his savings. Local residents soon heard what he was doing, which led to more waving, and they began pulling over their cars to hand him cash and checks.

The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping & Renting Locally!
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/03/2019 02:14 PM
Arnold, Murphys & Sonora, CA...The SNAC Family Thanks You for Shopping Locally! Back in the early 90’s, when Shawn was selling out of the back of his truck as “The Eddy Mart”, the most important items to have on hand were life jackets, river shorts, sandals and river knives. Oh yes, and a few things the rafting customers would want, t-shirts, hats, sunscreen, etc. It became obvious that The Eddy Mart was getting too big to operate out of a garage when the whitewater kayaks came. It was time for a storefront. That’s when providence arrived on the scene.
