         has not during the last five years (1) been convicted in a 
         criminal proceeding or (2) been a party to a civil or 
         administrative proceeding resulting in a judgment, decree or final 
         order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating 
         activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding

         proposals which relate to or would result in:
         
                   (1)  The acquisition by any person of additional 
              securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of

                   On January 25, 1994 a charitable trust, of which the

         which the undersigned is a director.  Such transfer was made for 
         no consideration in connection with the restructuring of the trust 
         into corporate form.  Except for such transfer, the undersigned 
         has not effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during 
         the sixty day period preceding the date of this Amendment No. 1.  
         The undersigned is filing this Amendment No. 1 to report that as 
         of January 25, 1994, he was the beneficial owner of less than 5% 
         of the Common Stock.
         
                   The shares of Common Stock held by the two trusts 
         reported herein as beneficially owned by the undersigned are held 
         by him in his capacity as trustee for the benefit of charity.  No 
         charity has a right to receive dividends or proceeds from the 
         outstanding Common Stock so held.  No person other than the 
         undersigned and the co-trustees listed above has the right to 
         direct the receipt of dividends on, or proceeds from the 
         disposition of, the Common Stock held by such trusts.
         
                   The undersigned has no right to receive the dividends 
         on, or the proceeds from the disposition of, any of shares of 
         Common Stock held by the trusts referred to in Item 3 and reported 
         herein as beneficially owned by him and disclaims any such 
         beneficial interest.
         
         Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
         -------  With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
                  -----------------------------------------
 
                    There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or 
         relationships (legal or otherwise except the contractual and legal 
         relationships inherent in the relationship between or among the 
         co-trustees; and between the co-trustees and the beneficiaries, of 
         the trusts) between or among the undersigned and any other person 
         with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not 
         limited to, transfer or voting of any such securities, finder's 
         fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, 
         guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving 
         or withholding of proxies.  None of the shares of Common Stock 
         reported herein as beneficially owned by the undersigned are 
         pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of 
         which would give another person voting or investment power over 
         such securities.
