150,000 and 33,550 shares, respectively, of the Issuer's Common Stock for a
total purchase price of $1,387,500 and $306,143.75, respectively.  VP's 
source of funds for such purchases was its working capital (i.c., its 
partnership capital account).  None of FEP, Mr. Fisher or Mr. Ewing 
purchased any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.  However, on December 
17, 1996, the Account purchased 1,450 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock 
for a total cost of $13,231.25.  The entities making contributions to the

     VP and Mr. Ewing's Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") (which is

Common Stock.  VP owns 18.9% of LLC and the IRA owns 1.7% of LLC. Neither VP 
nor Mr. Ewing have the right or power to vote or dispose of the shares of 
the Issuer's Common Stock owned by LLC.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     The purpose of the acquisition of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock by
VP and the Account is for investment.   The shares reported on this Schedule
were not purchased with the intention of exercising  control over the Issuer.
While VP and the Account intend to exercise their rights as holders of the
Common Stock, except as set forth below, none of VP, FEP, Messrs. Fisher  
and Ewing or the Account currently has any plans or proposals which relate 
to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional 
securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b)  
an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or  
management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the 
number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; 
(e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of 
the Issuer;  (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or 
corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's Amended and Restated 
Articles of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Code of Regulations or 
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the 
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class 
of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities 
exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation  
system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity 
securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration 
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar 
to any of those enumerated above.

     Notwithstanding the above, VP, FEP or Messrs. Ewing or Fisher may vote
the Common Stock as permitted by the Issuers's governing corporate documents.
In addition, VP, FEP, Messrs. Ewing or Fisher or the Account may exercise any
or all rights available to holders of the Common Stock.  In the future, VP,
FEP, Messrs. Ewing or Fisher or the Account may determine to purchase
additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (or other securities of the 
Issuer) or VP, FEP or Messrs. Ewing or Fisher or the Account may determine 
to sell shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.  In addition, VP and Mr. Ewing 
may determine to maintain, increase, decrease or withdraw their investment  
in LLC.  Any such determination will depend on a number of factors, including
market prices, the Issuer's prospects, capital requirements and alternative
investments.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     a.   VP directly and beneficially owns 183,550 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock, which represents 5.19% of the Issuer's 3,538,000 outstanding
shares of Common Stock as of December 23, 1996, the date of the share
calculation set forth in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996.  The Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) and
beneficially owns 1,450 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock which represents
0.04% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 23,
1996.  Except with respect to shares owned by the Account, none of FEP or
Messrs. Fisher or Ewing directly owns any shares of Common Stock.  By reason
of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, each of FEP and
Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the 185,000 shares
of Common Stock owned by VP and the Account, but FEP and Mr. Fisher disclaim
the beneficial ownership of all 185,000 shares,  and Mr. Ewing disclaims the
beneficial ownership of 183,550 shares, pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

     In addition, each of FEP, VP, Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be deemed to
beneficially own approximately 333,829 shares of Common Stock (or 
approximately 9.4% of the total outstanding shares) of the Issuer represented
by VP's and Mr. Ewing's IRA's beneficial interest in  LLC, but currently
disclaim such beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

     b.   VP has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of the
shares of Common Stock owned by it through its general partner, FEP, and FEP
acts solely through its general partners, Messrs. Fisher and Ewing.
Accordingly, each of FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be deemed to have
sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Issuer's
Common Stock owned by VP.

     Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of
Common Stock owned by the Account.

     c.   Except as disclosed in Item 3 of this Schedule, none of VP, FEP,
Messrs. Fisher or Ewing or the Account has effected any transaction in the
Issuer's Common Stock within the past 60 days.

     d.   No person or entity other than VP has the right to receive, or the
power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by VP.

     No person or entity other than the Account has the right to receive, or
the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Account.

     e.   Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

As of the date of the execution of this Schedule, (except for the investment  
by VP and the Account in LLC which VP does not believe to be applicable under  
Item 6 and except for the custodial account agreement for the account by and 
between Mr. Ewing and Fiduciary Trust Company which Mr. Ewing does not 
believe to be applicable under Item 6), none of VP, FEP, Messrs. Fisher or  
Ewing or the Account is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding 
or relationship among themselves or with any other person with respect to any  
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of 
any of the Common Stock, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option  
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or 
loss, the giving or withholding of proxies or pledge or otherwise subject 
to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting 
or investment power over the Common Stock,  other than the agreement among 
VP, FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing and the Account with respect to the 
filing of this Amendment No. 1 and any amendments thereto, which agreement 
is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     Exhibit  A  -- Agreement among VP, FEP, Messrs. Fisher and Ewing and 
the Account with respect to the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.
