Ray & Carl,

The following was in the Home Office report Friday.=20

Business Liability and Tool & Bailee Coverage Change

(Dan Hall) PTG members for several years have been able to purchase this
insurance through Jerry Kiser of Potter, Leonard and Cahan, Inc., of
Kenmore WA. Mr. Kiser has informed us that the underwriter for this plan
has informed him of their intention to withdraw from offering such
insurance. On 8-20-01 in a conversation with Jerry Kiser, he stated that
an alternative underwriter would be found very soon ? probably the
Fireman=92s Fund. We will keep you updated when we learn more.

I hope this helps,

Dale

Ray, I got one too.  Or as Victor Borge would say in his inflationary
speech "I got two three."

As the number one justification to be an associate member of PTG, Is
this the time for an old fart to drop his membership?
I hope not!

Do the insured members realize that the present insurance covers
products liability?   If I installed a Pianocorder in 1999 and it
catches on fire and burns up a house, I'm covered.  Now, if I installed
it in 1999 and it catches on fire after my insurance has lapsed, I'm not
covered.  Even If I retire, I need to have a policy that will cover me
after the fact at a reduced rate.  This will cover me if at a later time
a loss would happen.  I have discussed this with the present carrier.

The home office needs to clarify this. I'm disappointed that the home
office notification did not precede the notice from the carrier.

Hi, List and Sandy!
=20
I received a certified letter from Safeco Insurance today stating that
the PTG Business Insurance group policy would not be renewed.  Has
anyone else heard this, and have you heard of a replacement being
considered?  I (and I am assuming all of us) have until Nov. 1 to find
another carrier. At least that's when I normally renew each year.  I
would certainly hope that another group policy carrier could be found.
=20
Any word on this from anyone?
=20
Thanks.

The difficult I do right away; the impossible takes a little longer!
