     I, IMOGENE POWERS JOHNSON, of the Village of Wind Point, Racine County,
Wisconsin, appoint my son, H. FISK JOHNSON, of Chicago, Illinois, JANE M.
HUTTERLY, of Racine, Wisconsin, and LINDA L. STURINO, of Racine, Wisconsin, as
my agents (my "co-agents"), all of whom are collectively referred to herein as
my "agent," to act for me in any lawful way with respect to the powers initialed
below. If more than one agent is named to act hereunder, such co-agents shall
act by majority. If any of the named co-agents shall die, become incompetent,
resign, or refuse to accept the office of agent, or is otherwise

<PAGE>

unable or unwilling to act, then the remaining co-agents or co-agent shall act.
During any period in which more than one agent is acting hereunder, the
following provisions shall be applicable where the context admits: (a) any agent
may delegate any part or all of the rights, powers, duties, discretions and
immunities granted to or imposed upon such agent by this instrument to any other
agent, with the consent of the latter; (b) no agent shall be liable or
responsible for any act or failure to act of the other agent in which the former
has not concurred; (c) the co-agents may execute any instrument or document in
connection with the purposes of this instrument by signing one document or
instrument or concurrent documents or instruments; and (d) the affidavit of any
agent shall be conclusive evidence insofar as third parties are concerned that
any act of such agent has been duly authorized.

     TO GRANT ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING POWERS, INITIAL THE LINE IN FRONT OF
EACH POWER YOU ARE GRANTING.

     TO WITHHOLD A POWER, DO NOT INITIAL THE LINE IN FRONT OF IT. YOU MAY, BUT
NEED NOT, CROSS OUT EACH POWER WITHHELD.

                  . . .

                                GENERAL AUTHORITY
Initials

/s/ IPJ 12. GENERAL: My agent may do any act or thing that I could do in my own
proper person if personally present, including managing or selling tangible
assets, disclaiming a probate or nonprobate inheritance and providing support
for a minor child or dependent adult. The specifically enumerated powers of the
basic power of attorney for finances and property are not a limitation of this
intended broad general power except that my agent may not take any action
prohibited by law and my agent under this document may not:

          a. Make medical or health care decisions for me.

          b. Make, modify or revoke a will for me.

          c. Other than a burial trust agreement under section 445.125,
     Wisconsin Statutes, enter into a trust agreement on my behalf or amend or
     revoke a trust agreement, entered into by me.

          d. Change any beneficiary designation of any life insurance policy,
     qualified retirement plan, individual retirement account or payable on
     death account or the like whether directly or by canceling and replacing
     the policy or rollover to another plan or account.

          e. Forgive debts owed to me or disclaim or waive benefits payable to
     me, except a probate or nonprobate inheritance.

          f. Appoint a substitute or successor agent for me.

          g. Make gifts.

                                        2
<PAGE>
                  . . .

     I agree that any third party who receives a copy of this document may act
under it. Revocation of this basic power of attorney is not effective as to a
third party until the third party learns of the revocation. I agree to reimburse
the third party for any loss resulting from claims that arise against the third
party because of reliance on this power of attorney.

     Signed this 6 day of June, 2003.

     By signing as a witness, I am acknowledging the signature of the principal
who signed in my presence and the presence of the other witness, and the fact
that the principal has stated that this power of attorney reflects the
principals wishes and is being executed voluntarily. I believe the principal to
be of sound mind and capable of creating this power of attorney. I am not
related to the principal by blood or marriage, or adoption, and, to the best of
my knowledge, I am not entitled to any portion of the principal's estate under
the principal's will.
