        (b)      Percent of Class:  7.9% (3)

__________________________________

(1)     On May 19, 1988, the Issuer distributed one share of Series B Common
        Stock for each outstanding share of Common Stock (which was
        redesignated on May 4, 1988 as Series A Common Stock).  Series B Common
        Stock is convertible at any time on a share for share basis into Series
        A Common Stock.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the Reporting Person
        is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Series A shares into which
        the Series B shares are convertible, and such Series A shares are
        included in this number.

(2)     Does not include 25,000 Series A shares owned by Mrs. Herndon's
        husband, 24,614 Series A shares and 24,614 Series B shares that Mrs.
        Herndon holds as Trustee, and 16,740 Series A shares and 7,090 Series B
        shares held in trust for the benefit of Mrs.  Herndon's sons, as to all
        shares Mrs. Herndon disclaims beneficial ownership.

(3)     Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), this percentage has been calculated by
        including in both the Reporting Person's number of shares beneficially
        owned and the number of Series A shares outstanding, the number of
        Series A shares into which the Series B shares beneficially owned by
        the Reporting Person are convertible, but the number of Series A shares
        outstanding does not include Series A shares into which Series B shares
        held by others than the Reporting Person are convertible.  Were the
        percentage calculated by also including in the outstanding Series A
        shares the number of Series A shares into which Series B shares held by
        others than the Reporting Person are convertible, the Reporting Person
        would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5.9% of the outstanding
        Series A shares.
