On June 22, 1999, Florsheim Group Inc. issued a press release, the text

The Board of Directors of Florsheim Group Inc. announced today the

Executive Officer, and as a director of the Company.
The Board said that L. David Sanguinetti, Executive Vice President

constitute the Office of the President.
"David and Rick have been intimately involved in setting the current

at present is to assure our employees that we continue to have their best
interests and well being in mind, that our shareholders are well served,
and that Florsheim continues to provide its customers with exemplary

excellence, and the new management team, we are confident, will continue
