Autorenporträt
The book Steward is best described as eclectic and eccentric. No surprise the work written through him should follow suit. By trade a retired risk manager who showed businesses how to improve benefits and coverage and lower cost using proper insurance risk tools. For that often ignored dismissed and ridiculed because the treatment did not follow acceptable norms. Life has taught to be different and wrong is forgivable but to be different and right is inexcusable.A long quest to find the great truth of insurance plagued most of the first part of my career. Sought it through various insurance industry credentials then finally into law school at middle age. Somehow Excalibur existed and needed to be found.One night this Steward awoke from a nightmare drenched in sweat and knew the quest had ended. The sword was in possession. A beautiful golden sword inscribed. The inscription read that the great truth of insurance is that it is neither great nor true. Twenty plus years of an endless quest ending in this. I wept and have never been the same.I suspect this work may be a proximate result of that moment. You decide.
