QPWB Announces Formation of Hugh L. Wood, Jr. Fellowship

IN HONOR OF HUGH L. WOOD, JR., QPWB ENDOWS $127,000 ON BEHALF OF EMPLOYEES

January 6, 2005 (Miami, Florida) - Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A.
announces the establishment of the HUGH L. WOOD, JR. FELLOWSHIP. The annual
scholarship, awarded through the University of Miami School of Law,
perpetuates Mr. Wood's twin legacies of commitment to higher education and
his deep caring for the employees of the firm he founded.

The most appropriate way his partners can think of to perpetuate his legacy
is through the establishment of the fellowship. The partners recognize how
important each and every employee of the firm was to Hugh. In memory of his
commitment and respect for those he worked with, $1,000 will be donated on
behalf of each employee to the HUGH L. WOOD, JR. FELLOWSHIP for a total of
$127,000.

QPWB suggests that contributions be made in lieu of flowers to honor Hugh L.
Wood's memory. Donations should be made payable to the University of Miami,
