Kent, Thanks for your reply: "As you can see, the home office is well aware of the situation, and will give us news when there is news to give." I would prefer to hear this type of news from within our organization first. It seems that the insurance company thought there was "news to give!" I made a special trip to the post office today to retrieve the certified mail, not knowing the sender. I was a half hour late to an appointment as a result. Since the home office has been aware, I think we should have had a "heads up" before receiving a special mailing from the insurance company. Ray T.
