Let me congratulate you on an insightful profile of Sanford C. Sigoloff of the Wickes Cos., the successful corporate leader and the private man ("Ming the Merciless Is on the Prowl" by Nancy Yoshihara, July 27). Mr. Sigoloff also brings his commitment to win in his involvements outside the business arena. I am happy to tell you that, through Mr. Sigoloff's chairmanship of the Walk-America fund-raising event this year, the March of Dimes in Southern California raised a record $2.2 million, increasing its revenue by over 20% in only one year.

What what would you do if you put your company up on the auction block, got the bidding started at $574 million, and couldn't get a higher offer? That's the situation facing Wickes Cos. The Santa Monica-based company said Friday that it has failed so far in its 1 1/2-month effort to find a bidder willing to top a $574-million offer by the firm's management. And to drum up more interest, the company's board said Friday that it might be willing to sell pieces of the company separately.
