   "We are grateful to Ralph for the many years of service that he
has given to MITY," said Gregory L. Wilson, chairman of the board of
directors of MITY Enterprises. Wilson added, "Since Mr. Crump's
original investment in MITY in 1988, he has been a wonderful mentor
and contributor to our organization. At 82 years old, he is beginning
to transition into retirement and would like to reduce his
commitments. However, he will continue to serve as both a board member
and mentor during a transition period. Peter still remains a
significant shareholder and remains committed as a valuable member of
our board. The Crump Group provided the original angel capital that
funded the startup phase of our business. They have held onto these
shares for over 18 years. MITY will be forever grateful for their
foresight and support and the risk they took to fund what has now
become a very successful company."
