Early Life and Education

David Ryden was born November 24th 1918 in Hallock Minnesota to Oscar and Christina (Ekensteen) Ryden and served his country during World War II as a corporal.

He married Virginia Fisher on December 14, 1941 and they shared 65 years together before she passed away in 2012.

At that time they farmed and operated a machine shop in Hallock, Minnesota. Additionally, they often spent their free time fishing and entertaining friends at Lake Bronson.

Ryden currently serves as Professor of American and New England Studies at the University of Southern Maine, teaching courses on regional literature, cultural geography and folklore. Known for his research in these areas, he has published several books including Mapping the Invisible Landscape: Folklore Writing and Place Sense as well as Landscape With Figures: Nature and Culture in New England.

Professional Career

David Ryden has made a name for himself as an attorney thanks to his success at prosecuting numerous criminal cases. Over 50 jury trials have gone in his favor; unfortunately he’s also lost several.

Even in light of his success, Harford County Prosecutor Andrew Carrion is currently under fire due to an email sent by him to deputies in Harford County that advocated that prosecutors shouldn’t fear taking cases to trial, provided they follow ethical requirements.

Although Ryden’s email raised some concerns with regard to its tone, he claimed he was simply supporting law enforcement. Baltimore defense attorney Margaret Mead who handles many cases in Harford County stated she will investigate if its language violates Maryland Attorneys’ Rules of Professional Conduct.

Achievement and Honors

David Ryden was widely recognized for his professional and literary achievements. An avid reader, his 2009 book titled “West Indian Slavery and British Abolition, 1783-1807” was named one of Choice magazine’s outstanding academic titles.

He was an esteemed Arctic ice and climate researcher. He helped establish international multidisciplinary networks that led to breakthroughs in understanding ocean, ice, and atmospheric processes at different scales. An outstanding communicator and generous mentor, he could convey complex scientific ideas clearly to diverse audiences. A dedicated family man, he will be deeply missed. Our condolences go out to Lucette and their three children at Marlboro High School where currently serves as supervisor of extra curricular activities.

Personal Life

Ryden Malby graduates college and returns home to her eccentric family – her ambitious father Walter who takes care of everything himself; Carmella her cautious mother who manages their meager resources efficiently; and Hunter their peculiar little brother eager to race boxcar derbies.

Unemployed, she struggles to secure employment but finds emotional support from best friend Adam. After her father accidentally runs over one of his neighbor’s cats and causes damage to the neighboring home, she meets Rodrigo Santoro (David Santiago), a man she finds attractive.

She makes the decision to move in with him after her unsuccessful job hunt, only to realize she’s too preoccupied with her goals and career for anyone else to come into focus. After realizing how her own narcissism is affecting relationships, she comes to see that sometimes not getting what we want can actually be the best decision.
