Member killed in Pan Am crash WPA offers new health care plans in joint venture GREENSBURG, PA—Beth Ann Johnson, a member of William Penn Branch 8036 Greensburg, was among the 258 passengers killed when Pan American Flight 103 crashed in Scotland Dec. 21. Ms. Johnson, 21, was a senior psychology student at Seton Hill College in Greensburg. She was returning from London where she was studying at Regents Col­lege for a semester. While in London, Ms. Johnson served as a resident assistant in one of the college’s dormitories and was able to visit her longtime German pen pal. She also contacted some of her relatives there and was reportedly bringing back to her family a surprise from their English rela­tives. Her mother, Carole Johnson, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that she was scheduled to finish her undergraduate studies in the spring and planned to pursue her doctorate in psychology. Her father, Glenn P. Johnson Jr., is president of Branch 8036. Ms. Johnson and another Seton Hill student killed in the crash, Elyse Saraceni of Salem, Pa., were remembered in a Mass at the Seton Hill chapel Dec. 22. In addition to her parents, she is survived by two brothers, Glenn III and Gene. We at the William Penn extend our deepest sympathies to the Johnson family and ask all our members to pray for her eternal rest. PITTSBURGH — Beginning this month, William Penn agents in five states will be offering two medical care plans as part of the Association’s line of insurance products, the Home Office re­cently announced. One plan is an individual major medical care plan called ’’Classic Care,” the other is a short-term medical plan called "Inter-Med Plus.” William Penn agents in Con­necticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania are now licensed to sell the plans in their states, said National President Stephen G. Danko. Applications to sell the medical plans in other states are pending. The new plans represent a joint venture between the Association and the Washington National Insurance Company originally announced last July. Washington National will offer the plans through the William Penn and its agents. Under the Classic Care major medical plan, each insured indi­vidual can receive a maximum lifetime benefit of $1 million. The policy covers 80 percent of the insured’s medical expenses after satisfying the annual deduct­ible and before meeting the coin­surance limit. After the coinsurance limit is reached, the policy pays 100 per­cent of the insured’s medical ex­penses for that particular calendar year. If the policy covers an entire family, then the family would have to pay a maximum of two deductibles per year. Premium rates for Classic Care are guaranteed for 12 months and increase on each policy anni­versary after the insured person has reached age 25. Premiums are reduced beginning at age 65. Under the family plan, infants are covered free of charge from their date of birth until the next premium due date. Parents also may acquire a Classic Care plan for their children only. Benefits are paid according to the insured’s instructions, either to himself or directly to the doc­tor, hospital or other health care provider. There are no limits on the costs of individual medical ser­vices covered by the plan, except that hospital room and board costs will be paid based on the average semi-private room rate for the particular hospital. Costs for physicians’ services will be paid based on "reasonable and customary” expenses. Many of these details also apply to the Inter-Med Plus plan. This is a short-term medical plan suit­ed for people such as recent college graduates and those cur­rently between jobs.--------------See ’Health’ Page 2 Bowling tournament set for May 26-28 Inside ■ Work completed on heritage center..........................Page 2. ■ Member’s inventiveness saves reefs............................Page 3. ■ The latest news and notes from our branches ....

Next Deadline January 20 PITTSBURGH — Organizers are busily making final preparations for the 46th Annual William Penn Association National Bowl­ing Tournament and Scholarship Days. The Association’s largest an­nual fraternal event will be held in Pittsburgh over the Memorial Day weekend, May 26 to 28. Headquarters for this year’s tournament will be the Hilton Hotel located in downtown Pitts­burgh. The bowling competition will take place at Princess Lanes in Whitehall Boro, located just outside of Pittsburgh. Free transportation between the hotel and bowling lanes will be provided to all bowlers. The five-person team competi­tion will take place on Saturday, May 27, with the doubles and single events to be held on Sun­day, May 28. The tournament is being spon­sored under moral support sanc­tion of the A.B.C. and W.I.B.C. with high score recognition. Entry forms are being prepared at the Home Office and will be sent to Association branches as soon as possible. All entries must be postmarked no later than April 21, 1989. Entry fees will remain the same as last year’s: $50 per five-person team; $20 per doubles team; and $10 per singles event bowler. The weekend will open with the annual meetings of the Wil­liam Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation and the Louis L. Varga Scholars Guild on Friday, May 26, in the hotel. The weekend will also feature the annual tournament awards banquet to be held Saturday evening at the hotel ballroom. Both bowlers and non-bowlers may wish to visit the Pittsburgh Folk Festival, which will be held the same weekend as the bowling tournament. This annual event celebrates Pittsburgh’s rich and varied ethnic heritage and fea­tures the food, arts and ethnic dances of dozens of nationalities, including the Hungarians. More information on the tour­nament and scholarship founda­tion meeting will appear in future issues of the William Penn Life. In the meantime, we encourage all William Penn members to make plans to attend this fun­­filled fraternal event.
