TEXAS ARCHITECT GRAPHICS COMPETITION Allvhll'l1sino REPRESENTATIVE ,.,.,, Lt'rm11rr-Wf#.UI The A, B, C's of professional liability insurance companies. Financial advisors recommend comparingthe A.M. Best Company rating of financial strength when you select an insurance company. This rating is Important to you as a strong indicator ofa company's future performance and stability. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAlC), between 1981 and 1987 the number of insolvencies for insurance com­ panies licensed in at least two states increased by over 600%. If this should happen to your insurer, you can be left uncovered ifa claim occurs. CNA, the largest insurance organization offering liability insurance to architects and engi­ neers, has earned an A+, Best's highest rating. This measure of exceUence Is a reflection of our management strength and our ability to meet our obligations now and in the future. This didn't happen overnight CNA and Victor 0.

  • Marcia Edwards
    NNoottee WWoorrtthhyy A publication of The Wednesday Morning Music Club (Austin) Website: musicclubaustin.org Jan. 18, 2017 WMMC - Member Highlight – Marcia Edwards My two brothers and I grew up on a farm in central Illinois with a Shetland pony, a collie, and one black and white spotted cat. In 2nd grade, I began piano lessons with the woman who was our Methodist Church organist and our elementary school music teacher. My mother was not a musician, but she made sure that we practiced regularly. In high school, I was asked to accompany the school chorus. I also played piano with the jazz band and for my senior class production of “Oklahoma.” In addition, I played clarinet in the high school concert and marching bands. My undergraduate major at the University of Illinois was French, and I was fortunate to be able to spend my junior year living with a French family and studying in Grenoble and then Rouen. When I returned from France, I decided instead of teaching French to teach English as a 2nd Language. I attended UCLA for a master’s degree in TESL. Then I moved to Houston for a teaching job at the U of H. It was in Houston that I met George. My officemate at the U of H fixed me up with him on a blind date. A year and a half later, we were married at the Rice University Chapel. George introduced me to backpacking on our honeymoon in Glacier Park, Montana. This summer we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary in Santa Fe with a surprise party arranged by our children.
