*The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person's
initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and
for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter
disclosures provided in a prior cover page.
The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed
to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act
but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the
Notes).
(1) Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e), the Reporting Person filed a Schedule 13D on
June 20, 2000 in connection with his plans to nominate and elect Raymond L.
Steele to the Issuer's board of directors. Mr. Steele was not elected to the
issuer's board of directors. The Reporting Person no longer holds the
securities of the issuer with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing
control of the issuer and is therefore filing this Amendment No. 1 to his
Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(h).
