Dear Shareholder:

          We recently learned that a shareholder may have written
you requesting that you substitute his name and an associate's
for the proxies listed on the proxy cards that will be used for
this year's annual meeting.

          Your Company does not support this request.  And, we
regret any confusion or inconvenience this shareholder's actions
may have caused you.

          Your proxy materials were mailed to you on March 23. 
After you review them, we hope that you will return your proxy to
us in the normal fashion.

          For your information, your proxy statement indicated
that your Board of Directors recommends that you vote for Item
No. 1, the election of directors, and for Item No. 2,
ratification of the appointment of auditors.  Your Board strongly
recommends that you vote against Item No. 3, which is contrary to
the interests of the Company and our shareholders.

          As always, we hope you will be able to attend this
year's meeting on April 27.  Until then, if you have questions
about this matter, please call our temporary, toll-free number,
1-800-530-6677.

          Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

                                 Sincerely,

                                  /s/ Nancy C. Brink
                                 ------------------------------
