                           [PKS LETTERHEAD]





                                    June 2, 1999



Dear PKS Stockholder:

Subsequent to the mailing of the Proxy Statement dated April 23,
1999 and Proxy relating to the 1999 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, there has been a development that we are required
by SEC regulations to advise stockholders of prior to the June 19
Annual Meeting.

Tait Johnson has recently announced his plans for retirement.
Pursuant to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if re-
elected, Tait will be required to resign from the Board of
Directors when his employment ends later this year.

If the proposed slate of directors is elected, a vacancy will
occur when Tait resigns from the Board.  In accordance with our
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may choose to
appoint someone to fill the unexpired term.  However, the Board
has not yet taken up consideration of how to handle the vacancy.

As required by SEC regulations, we are sending you another Proxy
(and return envelope) in the event that this new information
would prompt you to change your vote.  If you have already
submitted your Proxy and do not wish to change your vote, no
additional action is required.

                                    Sincerely,


                                    /s/ Kenneth E. Stinson
                                    Kenneth E. Stinson
