Sometimes bad things happen to good people - a child goes missing, a loved one with Alzheimer's disease wanders off, a family member on a business trip or vacation meets with an accident. All this leads up to one thing. Families need to start thinking about an identification kit for each member of the family, including the mother, father and the grandparents. With our new technology using the FTA Micro Card, we can guarantee families are getting a number one product that is used by Law Enforcement, Military and Paternity Labs around the world.

 Note: Some of the poems you read here come from my experience as a victim crisis intervention worker and contain in some cases graphic description of the pain I felt dealing with many different families. Nothing in these poems identify any particular person. My sole purpose is to allow you to feel some of the pain that happened in my community as I am sure it does in yours. It is my prayer that some of what I say touches you, so that you in turn would be motivated to touch someone today who in an urgent way could use your help. GO GIVE YOURSELF AWAY!

DESCRIPTION OF THE
GROOTE BEER IN DUTCH
English Version

Gebouwd in 1944 als Victory-schip door Permanent Metals Corporation in Richmond, Californua. Als troepenschip was ze eigendom van de Nederlandse overheid, maar in beheer bij de Stoomvaart Maatschappij 'Nederland' te Amsterdam. Het schip had grote slaapzalen voor 1600 militairen. Nadat een gedeelte van het schip was ingericht als hospitaal, was nog plaats voor maximaal 810 passagiers. In 1951 verzorgde de 'Groote Beer' een van de transporten van Molukkers naar Nederland (Tandjung Priok 13 april 1951 - Amsterdam, 6 mei 1951). In 1961 werd ze verbouwd tot emigrantenschip (810 passagiers) en verkocht aan de Holland-Amerika Lijn. In 1964 werd ze verkocht naar Griekenland en omgedoopt tot 'Marianne IV'. Vanuit Noord-Afrika en het Nabije Oosten maakte zij verschillende pelgrimsreizen naar Mekka. In 1965 charterde de Holland-Amerika Lijn het schip voor een aantal studentenreizen (meestal vanuit Canada), opnieuw onder de naam 'Groote Beer'. Die naam bleef gehandhaafd toen ze in 1967 terugging naar de Griekse eigenaar. Pas een jaar later werd ze weer omgedoopt tot 'Marianne IV'. Ze voer echter niet meer onder die naam en werd in 1970 in Eleusis gesloopt.
