     A.W. Sweeney, Douglas, Wright, Resnick and Pfeifer, JJ.,                    
concur.                                                                          
     Moyer, C.J., concurs separately.                                            
     F.E. Sweeney, J., dissents.                                                 
                                    No. 94-288                                   
                                    Moyer, C.J., Concurring                      
                                    Separately                                   
                                    December 2, 1994                             
                                    File No. 8432                                
                                    Doc. No. 2378Y                               
                                                                                 
                                                                                 
     Moyer, C.J., concurring separately.    I concur separately                  
in the judgment entry in the above-styled case.  As stated in                    
the concurring opinion in Cosgrove v. Williamsburg of                            
Cincinnati Mgt. Co., Inc. (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 281, 638 N.E.2d                  
991, I do not agree with the law announced in the majority                       
decision.  Nevertheless, it is the law on the issue in the                       
above-styled case.  As I believe all parties should receive                      
equal application of the law announced by this court, and only                   
for that reason, I concur in the judgment entry.
