	I hereby constitute and appoint each of John N. Rigas, Walter T. Gangl, Michele

and grant each of them, acting alone, full power to act on my behalf and in my name,

by me under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 144 promulgated
thereunder including, without limitation, the power to sign any and all amendments to

and to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite or necessary to be done in
connection with such forms, as fully and to all intents and purposes as I might or could do
