Warren named 'Rookie
Earnest Warren was recently recog
nized as the "Rookie of the Year" for the
Portland agency of Prudential Insurance
Company. Warren has been an agent
with Prudential for one year, having
previously been Explorer Executive with
the Boy Scouts.
Warren believes his success has been
due to his efforts to aid families in
meeting their insurance needs. “1 help
the family identify their needs and design
or plan to fit those needs - whether it is
education of the children, retirement,
mortgage cancellation insurance, or
death benefits."
Warren offerings include U fe Insu
rance. Group Insurance and Annuities.
He writes business policies as well as
family and individual
One largely untapped market for the
insurance industry is women. “Insurance
needs have changed along with social and
economic changes.“ Warren explained.
“Women used to be homemakers and
mothers and they were mainly concerned
with having the husband insured so if he
died there would be money to raise the
family. Now the wife's employment is a
necessary part of the family income and it
is important to insure her as well."
W omen also are becoming more inde
pendent so they need auto and property
insurance as well as health and retire­
ment. “Half of the marriages end in
divorce. If a family insures only the
husband and a divorce occurs, the insu­
rance that both adults have helped to buy
goes with the man.”
Construction has startl'd on a helipad
at Emanuel Hospital in Portland. Oregon,

lor is Wilson and Dean Construction,
Company, Inc.

completed in approximately 110 days.
According to Kathy Elmore, Director
of Flight Operations for “Life Flight." the
