Landover, MD, December 19, 1994 ... Dart Group Corporation (NASDAQ:

Mr. Bullock was elected to the Dart Group Board of Directors in

will continue with three outside directors comprising its membership.
Mr. Bullock enjoyed a long, distinguished and diversified business
career. He was formerly Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of two public
corporations: Bank of New England Corporation and UniDynamics Corporation,
both listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Most recently, in addition to his
duties at Dart, he served as President of Montchanin Management Corporation, a
private investment bank, and President and Director of Michel Vineyard, Inc.
(Domaine and Michel wines). He also served as a Director and Trustee of
various business, education and charitable organizations, including Colby
College, of which he has been a Trustee, the Boys Club of America, formerly as
a National Director. Mr. Bullock graduated from Colby College, with honors,
and the University of Virginia Law School, where he was a member of the Law
Review.
