Concierge Inc. Strengthens Board of Directors With the Addition of Herbert Marcus III LOS ANGELES, Feb 8, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Concierge Inc., which recently announced plans to merge with Palm Springs, Calif.-based Starfest Inc. (OTCBB:SFST), has named Herbert Marcus III to its board of directors, it was announced today by Concierge President Allen E. Kahn. Marcus has more than 30 years' executive experience in real estate management and as a private investor. He began his career with Harry Camp Co., San Francisco, an operator of leased departments in retail department stores. He then joined the real estate brokerage firm, Hickman Hope Co., in Dallas, and subsequently Lawrence Miller Co., Dallas. He was a founding partner of AMS Interests, a real estate brokerage and investment management firm located in Dallas, and pursued various private investment interests. He was senior vice president, International Investment Division of Henry S. Miller/Grubb & Ellis Co., Dallas, from 1982 to 1990. He joined Burgess Management Corp. in 1991 and is currently senior vice president, real estate management. Marcus attended Menlo College and has been involved in community affairs in Dallas for more than 30 years. He is a member of a pioneer Texas family and is the grandson of the late Herbert Marcus Sr., founder of Neiman-Marcus. "We are very pleased that Herbert Marcus III has agreed to join our board of directors," said Kahn. "We believe his depth of experience will be of considerable benefit to our company as we begin the commercialization of our first generation of products and as we complete the planned merger with Starfest Inc. "Over the next few months we intend to continue to strengthen our company's board of directors and our management team to enable a smooth transition from private company to a fully reporting public company," he added. Concierge was founded by Kahn to design, market and support a new class of unified messaging products. These products integrate voice technology and pioneering software as a solution to the remote access needs of Internet e-mail, fax and voicemail users. The company is preparing to introduce a software package (the Personal Communications Attendant or PCA) that will enable Internet e-mail users to have e-mail, received on their personal computers, read to them over any telephone as instructed by the user's voice commands. This product is expected to be introduced into the personal communications market in 30 days. Concierge plans continuing enhancements to the core product (PCA), including foreign language versions, and has additional unique products in the final stages of development.
