In the best-selling book Tuesday's with Morrie, we learned many wise lessons from sociology professor Morrie Schwartz, as shared by the book's author, Mitch Albom.

We learned lessons of acceptance, communication, love, moral values, openness and happiness. We learned these lessons through the kind of wisdom that can only come from a caring and adept person, who has had a lengthy and rich life.

At IASA, and broadly throughout the industry, we have been privileged to have our own “Morrie”—Morty Mann. Many of you know Morty because he has been teaching us all about statutory accounting, and annual statement reporting for a long time. With his booming voice and infectious positive spirit he has been an energetic and knowledgeable force—and resource—for thousands of conference attendees, friends, and clients.

Morty started his insurance career back in 1959 with Colonial Penn Group. He held positions of controller, vice president and Chief Financial Officer of Colonial Penn's property/casualty operations; president of Intramerica Life (Colonial Penn New York Life Operations) and senior vice president of the group.
