Tuesday, June 14, 2005

Had a great time last Thursday night at the New York Social Security Bar Dinner. Along with five other attorneys and staff from my office, we got a chance to socialize and laugh with old friends and colleagues, including Richard Morris and Vic Fusco.

Most cancer survivors are able to stay on the job, according to a new study found in the current issue of the journal Cancer and reported by Reuters. The nation’s largest long term disability insurance company, UnumProvident, recently reported that cancer is the leading cause of long term disability claims in the United States.
