NAILING THE ISSUE Dear Editor,
Jeff Kehler Senior Account Executive Elgin, Ill. INTEGRITY IN QUESTION Dear Editor, Many of us "four levels below" Roger Egan at Marsh, "Integro: Brokering on Integrity," (Risk & Insurance®, August 2005, page 18) sensed something was amiss, and it was discussed openly. We simply never understood why new revenue was valued so highly, regardless of profitability. We now know it was due to the kickback scheme of which Garvey and Egan plead ignorance. These two seem to imply that while they held leadership roles and collected substantial salaries, neither bothered to understand how the company actually made money. Now, instead of expressing remorse for their lack of stewardship, they smooth-talk some investors, hire a PR firm and perform the role of innocent rubes.Knowledgeable people within the industry are not buying this tired act, Latin name and all. Speaking of Latin, I suggest the author renew acquaintances with his high-school Latin teacher. He has confused the Latin verb integro "to renew, to replenish" with the adjective integritas "purity, unimpaired condition." While sharing the same root, they are different words. "Replenishing Their Bank Accounts" would have been a far more accurate interpretation of Integro, both the word and the company. Kevin J. Moynihan Upper Midwest Insurance Services St. Paul, Minn.
