Item 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         No change from Amendment No. 2.

Item 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         No change from Amendment No. 2.

Item 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         As of November 5, 1998 (the date of the event requiring the filing 
of this Amendment No. 3), Truesdell had purchased a total of 477,300 shares 
of the Common Stock for an average price of $10.95 per share, an aggregate of 
$5,226,786.50, in open market purchases effected between September 10, 1996 
and August 27, 1998. In two private transactions of 50,000 shares each on 
November 1, 1998 and on November 5, 1998 Truesdell sold a total of 100,000 
shares at a price of $5.0625 per share; gifts of 2,750 shares in January to 
March of this year results in his total held being 374,550 as of the date of 
this filing.

         The source of Truesdell's payment of the purchase price was from his 
personal funds. Truesdell purchased some of the Common Stock on margin 
through his stockbroker, but otherwise did not use borrowed funds.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Truesdell acquired the Common Stock for investment purposes only. 
Truesdell will continue to evaluate his ownership and voting position in the 
Company and may consider the following future courses of action: (i) 
continuing to hold the Common Stock for investment; (ii) disposing of all or 
a portion of the Common Stock in open market sales; (iii) acquiring 
additional shares of common stock in the open market or in 
privately-negotiated transactions; or (iv) enter into short sales or other 
hedging transactions with respect to the Common Stock. Truesdell had not as 
yet determined which of the courses of action specified in this paragraph he 
may ultimately take. Truesdell's future actions with regard to this 
investment are dependent on his evaluation of a variety of circumstances 
affecting the Company in the future, including the market price of the 
Company's Common Stock, the Company's prospects and Truesdell's portfolio. 
Since his 13D filing Amendment No. 1, Truesdell requested that he be provided 
a position on the board of directors so as to better monitor his investment 
in the Company and perhaps make available to the Board his knowledge of sales 
and marketing. He believes management has accepted his request and 
anticipates being elected to the Board in February 1999.

         No other change from Amendment No. 2.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a)      As of November 5, 1998, Truesdell beneficially owned 
374,550 shares of the Common Stock, which represented approximately 6.1% of 
the shares of Common Stock currently issued and outstanding.

         (b)      As of November 5, 1998, Truesdell has sole power to 
dispose or direct the disposition of 374,550 shares.

         (c)      Since the amount of shares reported on his Amended Schedule 
13D dated May 27, 1998, Truesdell has purchased a total of 15,000 shares of 
the Common Stock for an average price of $6.75 per share, an aggregate of 
$101,273.00, in open market purchases effected between May 27, 1998 and 
August 27, 1998; and sold 100,000 shares between November 1 and November 5, 
1998 in private transactions at $5.0625/share.

         (d)      Not applicable.

         (e)      Not applicable.
