Item 4.   Ownership.

          Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of page two (2) and
page three (3) of this Schedule 13G, which Items are incorporated by
reference herein.

	The 1,214,400 shares of the Company listed on page (3) of this
Schedule are held by Laird Norton Trust Company ("LNTC"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of LNFG.  Because LNTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of LNFG, it
is possible that LNFG may be deemed a beneficial owner of the shares held
by LNTC by virtue of the definition of "beneficial owner" in Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The filing of this Schedule
shall not be construed as an admission by LNFG that it is a beneficial
owner of any securities of the Company held by LNTC.

	In addition, it is possible that the individual general partners,
directors, executive officers, members, and/or managers of LNTC or LNFG
might be deemed the "beneficial owners" of some or all of the securities
to which this Schedule relates in that they might be deemed to share the
power to direct the voting or disposition of such securities.  Neither
the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to
constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose,
the beneficial owner of any of the securities to which this Schedule
relates, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.


Item 5.   Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

          If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of
the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner
of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the
following [X] as to Wentworth.

Item 6.   Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of
          Another Person.

         LNTC is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the number of
securities reflected in Items 5-9 and 11 of page three (3) and page
four (4) of this Schedule 13G pursuant to separate arrangements whereby
LNTC has discretionary authority with respect to the accounts of certain
persons.  Each person for whom the reporting person has discretionary
authority has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock
purchased or held pursuant to such arrangements.

Item 7.   Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary
          Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the
          Parent Holding Company.

          LNFG is the parent holding company of Wentworth.  Wentworth is
an investment adviser in accordance with Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E).  LNTC
is a bank in accordance with Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(B).

Item 8.   Identification and Classification of Members of the
          Group.

          Not applicable.
