The opinion
SUMMERS, Justice,
dissenting.
Plaintiff filed her action six months to the day from the date she was first notified that her claim had been denied by the defendant, satisfying 51 O.S.1981 § 156(C). I therefore dissent for the reasons expressed in my dissenting opinion in Trent v. Board of County Commissioners of Johnston Co., 755 P.2d 615, 621 (Okla.1988).
