ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP.
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 2,364,270 (1) (2)
-------------------------------------
(b) Percent of Class: 7.8% (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. On June 9, 1995, the Series A
and Series B Common Stock of the Issuer split 2-for-1.
(2) Does not include 48,760 Series A shares owned by Mrs. Herndon's
husband, 49,228 Series A shares and 49,228 Series B shares that Mrs.
Herndon holds as Trustee, 23,370 Series A shares and 7,090 Series B
shares held in trust for the benefit of one of Mrs. Herndon's sons, as
to all of which 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 6.2% of the outstanding Series A
shares.
(c) Number of shares as to which such person has:
(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
2,364,270 (1)(2)
--------------------
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote:
-0-
--------------------
(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition
of: 2,364,270 (1) (2)
---------------------------------------------------
(iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition
of: -0-
