system. In it, he saw an ad from WPA in search of a state manager for Connecticut. He applied and was hired as the state manager, an experience he enjoyed very much. In 1986, he and his family were invited to the WPA’s 100th anniversary celebration in Pittsburgh.

Shortly thereafter, he left WPA and became the national sales director for the Police and Firemens Insurance Association, a fraternal benefit society for police officers and firefighters.

After 25 years there, he retired from the PFIA, but his love for WPA remained. He contacted WPA National Sales Director Bob Bisceglia and soon was contracted to represent WPA again.

Matt looks forward to working with our members in Connecticut and increasing WPA’s membership there. Servicing members and fraternalism have been a major part of his success and career, and Matt looks forward to working with the Home Office staff, Branch I members and members throughout Connecticut.

He is excited to once again be playing a part in the growth of WPA. □

needing to exercise a survivorship option." If you are nearing retirement age-or retirement is on your radar within the next 5 to 10 years-this is a conversation you need to have with your agent today.

• WB from California commented that he purchased a $20,000 term to age 25 policy for his son when his son was very young. Unfortunately, as a teen, the son overdosed. He didn't die, but the incident left him in a vegetative state. When the son reached age 25, he was able to convert the policy to a permanent plan of insurance with no health questions asked under what is known as the conversion privilege.

This product sounds a lot like the Juvenile Term to Age 25 policy that we offer here at William Penn Association. I can't stress enough to our members and agents the importance of having this type of insurance on all of your children and grandchildren. For just $25 per year or a low one-time payment, you can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that no matter what may happen, your child or grandchild will be able to keep this coverage for their entire life by exercising the guaranteed conversion option. If you have children or grandchildren who are uninsured today, now is the time to pick up the phone and call your WPA agent or broker. If you don't have an agent, give us a call at the Home Office and we'll be glad to help.

We know there are many other great benefits to life insurance ownership, such as:

• replacing lost income,

• covering burial expenses,

• college planning, and

• business and estate planning, to name just a few.

The bottom line is this:

1) Life insurance is a solution to one or more problems you may have.

2) Most people don't even realize the problems they have that can be solved with life insurance.

3) A skilled agent can help people analyze their problems and determine if they can be best solved through the magic of life insurance or some other financial product, like annuities.

While researching my articles these last two months, it occurred to me that there are a lot of different reasons why people purchase-and love-life insurance. It also got me to thinking about the number of ways that life insurance has impacted my life and made me wonder how it may have impacted yours. Do you have a story that you'd like to share about how life insurance ownership (or lack thereof) has impacted your life or the life of a loved one? Think about why you purchased life insurance.

With these thoughts in mind, I invite our members to share their stories with your fellow members. If you are so moved, I'd love to hear from you. Your comments or stories will be kept strictly confidential and anonymous, if you'd like. You can reach me via email at rbisceglia@ wpalife.org, or by calling the Home Office 1-800-848-7366, ext. 134.

Until next month, welcome fall! To all our younger members, have a safe and happy Halloween! □
