Subject: Report of yesterday's annual shareholders meeting

 
Yesterday's annual shareholders meeting was reportedly uneventful.
 
The meeting was chaired by the company's CEO, Thomas Crowley, Jr.  Although other directors did not address the meeting, it was reported that at least some of them were seen in attendance.
 
There was no response to the May 7, 2004 Forum request for board views relating to matters presented for voting.  With management's 76% control of votes, of course, their proposals for director candidates and executive bonuses were approved.
 
During the discussion period, two family member shareholders expressed concerns about the absence of dividends and the amount of the CEO's compensation compared with other companies.
 
No public reports of the meeting were found this morning in searches of news databases, SEC filings and the company's web site.  SEC regulations require reporting of voting results in a company's subsequent quarterly Form 10Q, which will be due in August.
