JOHNSON, Judge,
concurring.
I agree with so much of the Opinion written by my distinguished colleague Judge Beck, as reverses the order granting summary judgment. However, I do not read the trial court Opinion as expressly precluding suit based on Linwood Harvestore, Inc. v. Cannon, 427 Pa. 434, 235 A.2d 377 (1967). The trial court stated that it was not appropriate for Underhill Coal Mining Company to seek a judgment against Hixon, having already exercised the option to seek judgments against VanVoorhis and Rishel. I do not find this position to be inconsistent with the narrow holding in Linwood Harvestore, supra.
