Amendment No. 16
ITEM 4. Ownership:
(a) Amount beneficially owned
129,722
(b) Percent of Class
78.8%
This amendment is filed to reflect the total number of shares beneficially
owned in Item 4 (a) and cover sheet Item 9.
Many of the shares are held in accounts of which more than one member of
the group has beneficial ownership. These shares are reported as
beneficially owned by each such reporting person under the "shared"
categories resulting in the total shares reported in those categories
exceeding the actual number of shares involved.
