Tutstar, you have done a lot of great investigative work so far for Terri. However, I really think that the Marjory Schiavo person is unrelated to Michael in any way, shape, or form. It's possible, but far-fetched. Now if you could find something on Richard M. Jerger, Jr. and Catherine Quinn-Jerger we might find the missing connection we're looking for. I hope this isn't too disheartening, because I've been noticing what great effort you've been putting in. I just think that in this instance, it's barking up the wrong tree. Of course, this is just my opinion and I could be totally wrong.

I know that I have read that name on a thread 'somewhere' LOL

and there were questions about the connection between the J/C insurance and Michael, and parent business connections....

Anyone got access to birth records??

Ok, maybe the Sunbiz is taking you the previous doc in their list......you may be right here...
have to get off for a while, will look further later....unless someone else wants to

Richard M. Jerger, Jr. and Catherine Quinn-Jerger

Richard Jerger is a member of THE Jerger Family. Formerly, a big name in insurance of mobile homes, especially, in Florida

They seem to be very well off, and their company has been bought out. (see below) The company that bought them out (or did a stock swap or whatever) thought Nursing home insurance was not profitable enough. Insuring Mobile homes, like the Jergers did, is very profitable. Insurance premiums for mobile homes run maybe a third of premiums for regular homes. But it costs a small fraction (1/10?) as much to replace a mobile home as a regular home.

Jerger name is also associated with St. Petersburg College's nursing program.

Here is some info on the Jergers. Dandlion had suggested checking into them, and G. Barry Wilkinson (Jerger and Centonze's registered agent. )

MARKET TIGHTENING FOR NURSING HOME EXPOSURES "While lawyers like Mr. Fillmore vow "to be there" for suffering patients who can't help themselves, insurers like Philadelphia Insurance Company and The St. Paul Companies have given up the cause of standing by nursing homes with liability coverage in the face of unprofitable results.
