The opinion

Insofar as the Court's opinion resolves the proceedings involving Susan Coleman *Page 1091

(cases no. 1030066 and 1030069), I concur fully. However, insofar as the opinion resolves the proceedings involving the plaintiffs in the Wright case (cases no. 1022043 and 1022060), I concur only in the judgments.
