I just caught a quick glimpse of the news in our employee cafe. Looks like the Santiago Canyon fire is really intense.

Judy, Alan would normally be greatly impacted and placed on CAT (catastrophe) assignment. However, Friday is his last day at work, as we prepare to leave for CROSS. Therefore, fire and/or wind-related assignments will be minimal for the remainder of this week. When he returns, no doubt, he will roll up his shirtsleeves and do his part to help insureds as best he can. Alan truly goes above and beyond for those individuals he's assigned to, catastrophe or not. I know he'll want to do his part once we return. Anyone who has met Alan knows what a compassionate man he is.
