POWAY, Ca., April 20, 2006 – GEICO is honoring local Poway resident Glen Cecil, 86, in recognition of his 60-year anniversary as a GEICO policyholder at a luncheon on Friday, April 21 at the company’s San Diego regional headquarters.

"We are thrilled to honor Mr. Cecil’s 60-year relationship with us," said Pierce. "I am so proud that GEICO provides the type of service that attracts and retains such loyal customers."
