Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
           Appointment of Principal Officers.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(b) On January 3, 2005, Frank Conner, a member of the Board of Directors and the
    Audit  Committee,  notified  the  Company  of  his decision not to stand for
    re-election  at  the  Company's  next annual meeting. Mr. Conner stated that
    other  personal  and professional responsibilities prevent prolonged service
    to  the Company as a member of the Board of Directors, however he intends to
    continue  to serve on the Company's Board until a successor is duly elected.
    Mr.  Conner did not advise the Company, or any of its executive officers, of
    any  disagreement  with  the Company on any matter relating to the Company's
    operations, policies or practices.
