Beth, I feel your pain and I am so sorry. I met Mike in 1991(or92) while he was working for Metlife and he tried to help me get onboard with him. I always enjoyed our conversations and he did have a great sense of humor. I called the Office this Wednesday to talk to him as he(and you) have been trying to help me with starting my own Farmers Agency. He will be greatly missed. Take care and if you need anything let me know. Danny,Ronda Higdon and Family
