On Wednesday 2nd of September 2010 trustees of The Samuel Ryder Foundation joined author Peter Fry and St Albans councillor Sheila Burton (Heritage and Culture Portfolio Holder) at the former magistrates court in The Old Town Hall. Peter was promoting the softback edition of his book “Samuel Ryder The Man Behind The Ryder Cup”.
The highlight of the afternoon was when Jean Taylor ex-employee of Ryder & Son came to purchase a signed copy of the book. Jean worked for three years in the despatch department, when the company was managed by Samuel's daughter Joan Ryder. She also revealed that her mother was taught at Sunday school by Joan.
