>>>Ron,

Interesting--I got this word not as part of a renewal, but rather when Parish 
changed carriers.

This stems from the death of Bill Parish; the famly business was then either 
merged or bought outright by competitor Heacock Insurance; the new outfit is 
known as Parish/Heacock.  At the same time, apparently all policies were 
shifted over to Heacock's carrier, which is Great American.  And Great 
American refuses to have track coverage.

Bottom line--we're screwed.  Parish's old carrier was the ONLY carrier in the 
USA that offered that kind of coverage (which is common in Europe, by the 
way, and not particulary expensive....)
