Chubb & Son Insurance - 22 yrs old - employee stock option offering - payroll deduction for the cost of $35/35 shares! Left the company 6 yrs later.

Thinking I might never qualify for a pension - I never touched the stock thru good times, bad times, splits, etc. Today own 1,300 shares trading at $194 today! Will likely sell it when I want to move into the graduated assisted living concept. No reason to sll now - the qtrly dividend is super!
