            We ignore earlier years due to the conversion of a portion of                                 
            shareholder's equity into long-term liabilities.                                              
            Richard L. Leonard                                                                            
                  At all relevant times, Mr. Leonard was petitioner’s president,                          
            chief operating officer, and chief financial officer.  Mr. Leonard                            
            has extensive experience in the pipeline industry.  He began his                              
            career as a laborer at a Kansas City pipeline firm.  After serving                            
            as an aviator in World War II, Mr. Leonard returned to transmission                           
            pipeline work for Midwestern Constructors in Tulsa, Oklahoma,

            pipeline contractors in the 1950's, serving as chief inspector for                            
            Truckline Gas Co.  Mr. Leonard was later appointed a superintendent                           
            by Anderson Brothers Pipeline Contractors, where he was responsible                           
            for finding and bidding on construction jobs and handling public                              
            relations work.                                                                               
                  In 1955, Mr. Leonard moved to Canada to assume the position of                          
            general superintendent for Majestic Contractors, where he conducted                           
            all of the contract bidding and estimates.  During this time, Mr.

            across the United States and Canada.
