For nearly two months I've covered the subject of these precancels; this will be the last post for the time being. The next step with this material is to consolidate it into supporting material for a new and updated list. For now, back to more conventional subjects, like brokers, banks, and insurance companies.
Maintenance and revisions are underway for the tabs (what Google calls "pages") at the top of the website, including addition of the original posts where there were once only links. The Insurance Agents and Insurance Company tabs/pages are good examples. Going forward I'll use pages dedicated to cancel series.
For now, and for Halloween, I'll reprise items from a previous post that focused on death:
