Jim,  	Per your and others' authority, on Friday, December 15,  I sent to Sharron West, the lead adjuster for Underwriters on the above-referenced three insurance claims, a request for an extension of time by which the insureds could filed suit against Underwriters through and including March 15, 2002.
I will give you a call on Wednesday, and if you have heard nothing by then from Underwriters, we can discuss a follow-up.
I would greatly prefer to have some response before the intervention of the Christmas holidays.
I will keep you advised.
Britt
