12-10-2011 - 12-10-2011
Today, we mourn the passing of our little tiny one;
not yet from the womb, you’d only just begun.
So precious, and so small, you’ve gone to see the Son.
You never knew a struggle, or couldn’t find your way;
You never had a trouble, nor a bad day.
You never took a breath and never suffered strife;
But still you were perfect - in every way, a life.
So, we celebrate your being, short though it was,
We’ll laugh and sing, but never the same because,
The loss of you is ever in our heart,
but so is our love, never to depart.
Now, we will cry and our tears will run free,
until we remember your soul will forever be.
Our time with you was short, and very sad are we,
but we hope in the Lord, that one day, each other we will see.
So, Lord, protect this little one and guide him to You;
hold him in Your Hands, so tender and so true.
And to you, little tiny one: now we bid you adieu,
with love always, until again we see you.
Chance leaves to mourn his passing parents Nicholas and Traci Klonowski and sisters Jordyn and Kenadie Klonowski of Point Place, Ohio; grandparents, Conrad and Joan Ausmus of Erie, Candy (Ray) Winland and Ralph (Pam) Klonowski of Point Place; uncles, Jason (Melissa) Ausmus of Monroe and Jeff Ausmus of Erie and aunt, Lisa (Lance) Charter of Erie; great-grandparents Elaine Venier of Toledo, Charlotte Klonowski of Toledo, and Madge Ausmus of Erie, and many other family friends and relatives. | |

on Apr 26 2011 15:28 | Stevenson takes CTP Top Graduate honors
Apr 18, 2011 10:36 AM, By Wendy Leavitt, director of editorial development
CINCINNATI. Troy Stevenson, director of logistics for GreenLine Foods, Inc., was honored yesterday at the National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Annual Education Management Conference and Exhibition for graduating at the top of the class of individuals who earned their Certified Transportation Professional (CTP) credentials in 2011.
“The CTP seemed to encompass all my seventeen years in trucking,” he told Fleet Owner. “It really fit well for me.”
Fleet Owner, which sponsors the annual award for the Top Graduate, presented a crystal eagle to Stevenson in recognition of his achievement.
Stevenson joined GreenLine about a year ago. Prior to that, he served as transportation carrier relations leader, North America for Owens Corning. He was also logistics manager, building products North America, at Pilkington.
Forty-nine people were expected on site Sunday to be honored for earning their CTP credentials earlier this year, and most of them made it, too, in spite of flight-delaying weather. Tom Moore of NPTC presented the graduates one-by-one to the meeting attendees. There are about 800 total CTPs now, Moore observed, noting that the test this year was even more rigorous than before due to the switch from multiple-choice to a short-answer format. “It reflects more of what the real world looks like,” he said. “It is a very robust process.”
The CTP program, now 18 years old, was developed by NPTC for private fleet professionals seeking to enhance and polish the skills and expertise they bring to their organizations. According to NPTC president and CEO, Gary Petty, the graduates bring “new, additional talent and resources” to the industry and to NPTC.

on May 13 2010 02:39 | Hello all, (deutsche Version unten)
Well, I am very happy to announce that our website is now a "Premium Plus" website - for the next 5 years! So, this means that we now have unlimited entries in the family tree, as well as unlimited storage for pictures, etc.
So, please feel free now to add information about the indirect relations (children's spouses families, your spouses families, etc.), if you would like. I have 2 requests, though:
1) Please use full first names (i.e. Richard, rather than Rick; Joseph, rather than Joe, unless those are their full names), full middle names, and maiden names for women.
2) Please, wherever possible, use full dates
My hope is to make this site as accurate as possible, so I think it is best to use full information. But now that we have the unlimited space, I think we should use it!
Thank you so much to everyone who donated - especially to our cousins from afar, in Germany! :)...

on July 31 2009 23:53 | | If anyone is having trouble with the site coming up in German, when you want English, try clicking the language button in the very bottom right hand corner of the screen, and if it is set to anything other than English, try changing it and see if it stays - hopefully! Several people have written me with problems.... but mine comes up in English, so I don't know what the deal is! | |

on July 26 2009 23:17 | Hello everyone,
You may have noticed that I haven't done much with the site lately... sorry, I have recently had some problems with anxiety. However, I think that is over now, so I plan to start making some more updates soon.
Thanks!
Jeff

Hallo alle,
Vielleicht haben Sie bemerkt, dass ich neulich nicht so viel mit der Seite gemacht habe. Kürzlich hatte ich Probleme mit Angst und Angst-Attackenm deswegen konnte ich nicht so viel machen, und habe das Interesse total verloren. Aber jetzt ist das hoffentlich vorbei, und ich plane, neue Sachen damit bald zu machen! :)
Vielen Dank,
Jeff | |

on Apr 12 2009 21:11 | Hello everyone,
I am sending this letter to everyone on the family tree website, some are brand new members, and some have been here since we started, but it doesn’t matter; I just want to keep everyone informed and get ideas. Because there are now so many members in Germany, I am also sending the letter in German.
First of all, I would like to say that I have very much enjoyed the fact that everyone has participated and added many new things! Thanks! I hope you have enjoyed the site so far! If there are any questions or problems, please let me know! Secondly, I have noticed recently that the size of our tree is growing pretty rapidly... at the moment, we have the premium plan, which lasts until 2014. Before I purchased this plan, I sent out an email, like this one, to all members and asked if anyone wanted to upgrade, and I took donations. I was able to gather $85, and so I purchased that plan. We now have 1,600 people in the tree, and there is 105 MB of storage space used with pictures. I think this is great! Thanks, again! :) However, as webmaster, I also need to keep an eye on the fact that our current plan only allows a certain number of people in the tree, and for storage. With the current plan, we can have 2,500 people on the tree (this is the tree, not members of the site), and 500 MB storage.
The next available upgrade allows unlimited members and storage. However, it is quite a bit more expensive, as well. There are various levels. For five years, $298.50, 2 years, $191.04, and one year $119.40. Unfortunately, according to the site, upgrading would not add additional time to our current plan it would just start over new. At the rate the site is currently growing, we probably need to upgrade eventually. I have the intention of continuing to research all sides of our family and continue adding information about all that I find. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to maintain the site by myself at the moment, and can only do it with the support of the members of the site. Please keep in mind that no donation is too small - in fact, we have so many members now that if everyone gave a dollar or two, that would be enough. But please feel no obligation!! Many have already donated – and thank you! – if you care to donate again, that would be great, but it would also be good to get the support of other active members of the site, so we can continue adding things. We still have quite a bit of space left, so I am sending this email now, while we still have time, so that I can get ideas and thoughts from everyone before we’re out of space. Please let me know what you think – whether it be, “yes, good idea” or “No, I think this is a terrible idea.” I just want to hear what everyone thinks.
Thank you very much, and Happy Easter!
Jeff
------------------------------------- Hallo alle, ich schicke diese Email an alle Mitglieder – manche sind da neu und manche nicht, aber das ist egal. Ich will alle Mitglieder informieren und Ideen von ihnen kriegen. Weil es jetzt so viele Mitglieder, die aus Deutschland kommen, gibt, schreibe ich die Email auf Englisch sowie Deutsch. Erstens möchte ich Ihnen danken, dass Sie so viel teilgenommen haben! Danke sehr! Ich hoffe, Sie haben die Seite bis jetzt genossen. Und wenn es irgendeiner Probleme oder Fragen gibt, bitte Sagen Sie es mir ruhig. Zweitens ist es mir kürzlich eingefallen, dass unsere Ahnentafel ziemlich schnell wächst. Jetzt haben wir den Premium Plan, und er wird bis 2014 dauern. Dieser Plan hat 66 € gekostet. Bevor ich das kaufte, schickte ich eine Email (wie diese) an alle Mitglieder. Daraus kam 64 € , und ich habe den Plan gekauft. Es gibt momentan 1.600 Leute in der Ahnentafel und 105,4 MB sind mit Bildern benutzt. Das finde ich toll! Danke mal wieder! :) Aber als Webmaster muss ich auch aufpassen, wie die Webseite weiter geht. Mit unserem jetzigen Plan dürfen wir 2.500 Leute im Stammbaum haben, und 500 MB für Bilder.
Der nächste Plan - Premium Plus - ist teuerer. Er kostet 90,87 € für ein Jahr; 145,40 € für zwei Jahre und 227,18 € für 5 Jahre, aber es gibt keine Grenzen mit MB oder Leuten. Leider gäbe es keine Erweiterung zwischen den Plänen, und dieser Plan würde neu anfangen (also noch bis 2014 dauern).
Ich glaube, es wäre wahrscheinlich am besten den Plan bald hochzurüsten.Ich habe immer noch die Absicht, mehr Informationen über unsere Familie herauszufinden und hinzuzufügen, aber leider kann ich das alles selber nicht leisten, ohne die Unterstützung der schönen Mitglieder dieser Webseite zu haben. Kein Geldgeschenk ist zu klein und zwar haben wir jetzt so viele Mitglieder, dass es klappen würde, wenn alle 0,76 oder 1.5 € gäben. Aber denken Sie bitte nicht, dass es eine Pflicht sei!! Wenn Sie schon Geld dafür gegeben haben – vielen Dank! - und wenn Sie noch Geld geben wollen, schön! Aber es wäre auch schön, die Unterstützung anderer und neuer Mitglieder zu haben. Momentan haben wir noch Platz bei der Webseite, und aus diesem Grund schicke ich die Email jetzt, sodass wir uns alles überlegen können, und ich Ideen und Gedanken von allen bekommen kann. Bitte Sagen Sie mir, was Sie dazu denken – ob es „gute Idee“ sei, oder etwas anderes - auch wenn es „Furchtbare Idee!“ ist. Vielen, vielen Dank und frohe Ostern! Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Jeff | |
