<DIV>Hi, List and Sandy!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any word on this from anyone?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
