Acclaimed producer (and personal friend) Andrew Meyer discusses his iconic films “The Breakfast Club” and “Fried Green Tomatoes,” cult favorites “Better off Dead” and “One Crazy Summer,” his early years working with legendary musical artists, his travels around the world, the people he’s met along the way, and the power of #reinvention to change one’s life.

On Friday, September 25th, unbelievably, two of ou On Friday, September 25th, unbelievably, two of our wonderful aunts passed away. 

Aunt Dot was born on December 1, 1930, in Greenville, Illinois, the daughter of Charles and Rilla Munson Pacatte. She married our uncle Urban ‘Tuny’ Ridings on June 23, 1950, and they enjoyed 47 years of marriage before his passing in 1997, at the age of 67. She and Arthur Ray ‘Matt’ Urfer married on July 12, 2003, and spent 21 years together before he passed in 2024.

Aunt Marjorie was born on April 1, 1934, in Carthage, Illinois, the daughter of Orvel and Minnie (Hopkins) Prior. She married our uncle Jim Ridings on June 22, 1963, and they enjoyed 59 years of marriage before his passing in 2022, at the age of 87. 

Both of these dear ladies epitomized faith, motherhood, service, and sweetness. Spending time with them and their families has always been sacred for us, and absolutely the best of times. Through their children, grandchildren, extended families, and loved ones, their legacies of light and goodness live on.
