amendments to Items 2, 3 and 5:

ITEM 2 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED AS FOLLOWS:

ITEM 2.  Identity and Background.

     (a) The names of the persons filing this  Statement are  Oppenheimer-Spence
Financial  Services  Partnership  L.P.,  a  Delaware  limited  partnership  (the

     (c) The principal  business of the Partnership is to purchase,  sell, trade
and  invest  in  securities.  The  principal  business  of  Oppvest  LLC  is the
furnishing of administrative  support for the limited  partnerships for which it

     (f) Philip V. Oppenheimer is a citizen of the United States of America.

         For purposes of this filing and  henceforth,  Mr. John W. Spence III is

     (d) No  person  other  than  the  Partnership,  acting  through  Philip  V.
