<p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:20px;text-align:left;">'''Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I'm used to camping and the outdoors. Plus I've been poor and had to live on small portions of food.  Relationship: Father-Daughter. At the age of 28, Ryder and his wife Deborah had their second child Gwen. The three of them, along with their oldest son, Michael, lived in the small factory town of Ruston, Washington. It is their that Ryder worked as a factory line operator, and Deborah was a stay-at-home mom.'''

'''Growing up, Gwen always longed to get out of the small town and travel the world. This became a matter of contention between her and her father, as he wanted her to stay in Ruston where their family was. When Gwen was 14, Michael went off to Duke College on a football scholarship. This just intensified her want to leave Ruston, and after graduating high school, Gwen moved to Boston to attend Boston University.'''

'''The next few years were rough. Ryder's wife (Gwen's mom) fell very ill and eventually passed away. This prompted Gwen to (after graduating from Boston University) move back to Washington. She ended up getting a job in Seattle working as a photojournalist. Now Ryder and Gwen have a stronger relationship then ever.'''
