Mr. Board, age 47, received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management

Engineering from Rensselar Polytechnic Institute in 1975 and has twenty-five

years of sales, engineering and management experience in various rotating

Manager, one Sales Manager and one Purchasing Manager continues to result in

improved sales and performance for both divisions," Kacin said. "We are

confident that Mr. Board will continue our efforts to capitalize and take full

advantage of the synergies that are possible between the two Divisions and

that his leadership and business acumen will help both divisions grow and

prosper."

Operating Officer of the Company."
