In the Fall of 1999 the idea for a website for the school was conceived. The following year the decision was made to make this a website for the entire parish. The team was formed and began meeting biweekly for the first six months. Once the site was established the team began meeting
monthly. The site began to grow with an increase in content from the Parish organizations. New members joined the team and fresh ideas were added to the site. The rest is history, and the Assumption web team feels we have one of the finest parish websites in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. The Assumption web team has a policy of continuous improvement and is always
looking for new members, as well as new content and school and parish information to add to the site. No prior experience in websites is required; we will gladly teach anyone who is willing to learn, although a basic knowledge of computers is definitely helpful. If you are interested
in joining the Assumption web team please contact the webmaster.

Hello, my name is Douglas Riga. I am a "computer
geek". I've been playing and working with computers since I was in junior high school.
I was born in Flint, MI. I grew up mostly in Los Angeles, CA and attended Van Nuys High School. After high school, I worked a couple of jobs and attended classes at California State University Northridge before joining the U.S. Navy. I spent 10 years on active duty and presently serve in the Navy Reserves. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems at University of Phoenix. I am currently working at Xavier University where I support and maintain their portal website.
My wife, Renee, and I recently (2004) moved our family to Ohio and became members of the parish at that time. My son
is an active Boy Scout and is attending Assumption School. My daughter is attending public school
and is involved with Girl Scouts at Assumption.
Personal interests include reading (Sci-Fi & Fantasy), playing games, and, you guessed it, computers. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family. My favorite food is chocolate and my favorite beverage is Diet Coke. My favorite show is the various incarnations of Star Trek, but I've become a recent fan of the new Battlestar Gallactica series. One of my favorite websites is
slashdot.org.
Joining the parish web team provides me the opportunity to give back to this wonderful community
we've been allowed to become a part of.

Hi, my name is Bill Rocklin. I came to Assumption Parish in the 8th grade (1960 grad) and attended LaSalle High School (member of LaSalle's Premier graduating Class of 1964). After graduation,
I left for 4 years in the Air Force (Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Virginia, and Thailand during Vietnam era). When
I came home, I worked for a short period of time for Formica and Summe Brothers Dairy, then was hired by Procter & Gamble in 1970.
I attended U.C. Evening College and received a B.S. in Applied Math, followed with some graduate work in Statistics.
I retired in 2002 after 32 years with P&G.
My wife, Linda (nee Schroder) has been at Assumption... well almost forever. She was baptized at Assumption Church .. the old one that was replaced in 1957... attended all 8 years at Assumption Grade School (1958 grad) and met
me at an Assumption C.Y.O. dance ... that's right, High School sweethearts, married
in 1965.
My primary interests? My family (3 grown children - Lori, Tony & Nik and
6 grandchildren - Brian & Brandon, Sarah & Ashley, Rune & Kaia), digital photography
(and the Photoshop & Lightroom fun that follows). You can usually find me
staring at a computer ... always trying to learn more.

I'm Carolyn Bryant. I was born and raised in College Hill. I attended St. Vivian's grade school, Our Lady of the Angels High School, and studied Early Childhood Development at University of Cincinnati.
I am owner and partner in Bryant’s Upholstery, a small business specializing in antique cars. I maintain all the office procedures. I also work with the process of restoring the upholstery.
I'm a self taught nerd which just goes to show it's not that difficult with a little help from
your family, friends, and online tutorials. I'm also an avid gardener.
My husband Dave and I have been parishioners since 1991. Our children, attend Assumption grade school. We have a cat named
Mercury, who we adore.
My favorite TV show is The Screensavers. Which leads us to my favorite web site.
www.thescreensavers.com . I could list a ton really...... but at this time that is my favorite. :) Favorite food has to be hands down, chicken
Chimichanga. I'll take a Mt. Dew with that, thank you. Maybe for dessert some Mint chocolate chip ice cream. (Thanks Jessica for the great questions!)
I have been given the opportunity to give back to my parish and
school, and for that I am thankful. I've met some great people in this experience,
without them this site would not be what it is! I'm thrilled with the response
the Assumption's site has
received so far. Hopefully we can grow as a parish with this new means of communications.
