            Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 1, 2005
            Filed June 9, 2005
            File No. 1-9232

Dear Ms. Anderson:

      This will confirm the telephone conversation yesterday between our
counsel, Michael Shef of Troutman Sanders LLP, and Derek Swanson of the SEC
staff to the effect that in future filings of Forms 10-K and 10-Q the Company,
in discussing the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, will
not limit such discussion by the use of language such as "to ensure that
material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known
to them on a timely basis".

                                           Very truly yours,

                                           /s/ Ronald Kochman

                                           Ronald Kochman
                                           Vice President
