ing, the things that I can do today
like you did when we were
younger. I know that when I can
find those ways my children will
benefit.
I suppose I could write on and
on, for I do think of you both far
more often than I show by call or
letter. I’m sorry for that and can
do better in the future. What I’m
really saying is that I love and
respect you both very much, and
that I try daily to honor you by
being the kind of person that you
are.
Thank you for doing the hard
things when they were very hard,
and thank you for being an
example for me.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY,
POP’S! And, happy Father’s day
to you too, MEME.

In other words, you will receive a
benefit which is less than full
replacement value, based upon a
depreciated value of the roof. In
order to avoid such penalties and
expenses, you must maintain your
level of protection at 80 percent of
its replacement value, not of its
original cost.
In reviewing your needs for
homeowners insurance, you
should be aware that there are
three types of homeowners pol-
icies: basic, broad, or comprehen-
sive. A basic policy usually pro-
tects against such things as fire,
lightening, wind, hail, explosion,
riot, aircraft, theft, vandalism,
vehicles, breakage of glass, loss of
property removed from premises
endangered by fire and other
perils.
A broad homeowners policy
usually adds to that basic cover-
age protection against falling
objects, snow damage, partial or
total building collapse, and water
heating system breakdown. Fin-
ally, a comprehensive policy cov-
ers all perils except earthquake,
landslide, floods of certain kinds,
backing up of sewers, seepage,
war, and nuclear radiation.
In purchasing homeowners
insurance, as in purchasing any
insurance, be sure that you work
with a reputable and responsible
company and agent. You may

If you are like most consumers,
your investment in your home is
the largest single investment that
you have made, or will make in
your lifetime. Partial or total
destruction of your home, as a
result of fire or severe weather,
could result in tremendous loss.
The need for insurance to protect
your home and goods is obvious.
But determining how much
homeowner’s insurance you need
is sometimes difficult. Attorneys
in our Insurance, Banking and
Securities Division and Consumer
Protection Division say many
homeowners are underinsured
without being aware of it. This is
primarily the consequence of rap-
idly increasing property values.
For example, if you bought a
home in 1965 for $20,000, it might
cost as much as $40,000 to replace
that house today. If you have not
increased your insurance coverage
in accordance with the increase in
replacement value, you may have
assumed a potentially serious
financial burden.
This is particularly true because
many homeowner policies require
that you carry insurance in an
amount equalling 80 percent of the
replacement value of your home.
If you do not, then you are
subject to a penalty in the form of
reduced benefits, for depreciation.
For example, if you have to
replace your roof, and you have
the required 80 percent coverage,
the insurance benefit will be the
total cost of the repair, less the
deductible. If you have not main-
tained 80 percent coverage, you
will be charged for depreciation.
