Richard A. Kaplan, Chief Executive Officer of Torvec, Inc. (OTCBB: TOVC) announced today that Charles N. Mills was elected to the Company's board of directors, effective November 3, 2010.

In making the announcement, Mr. Kaplan stated:

"I have known Charles for more than 30 years and, as incredible as it seems, I have never seen him make a mistake in his business judgment. He always seems to buy and sell at the right times which obviously accounts for his tremendous financial success. He is a superb strategist and a master negotiator. I have tried to get him to join the boards of previous companies I have been involved with but this is the first time he has accepted. He will be a tremendous asset to the company."

Mr. Mills commented:

"Torvec's people and technology were the true motivating factors in my decision to become a director. I am excited to team up with Dick to help Torvec realize its tremendous potential."

Charles Mills founded the law firm of Mills, Schwartz and White in 1967 which later merged to become Bernstein, Mills, Schwartz, White and Bernstein. Mr. Mills substantially concentrated on real estate syndication, venture capital and securities law. Wanting to branch out from his legal career, Mr. Mills ventured into his own real estate development company. As CEO of Crosskeys Corporation, he led the company into many successful ventures, including office parks, high-end office buildings and a commercial mall/plaza. In 2001, Mr. Mills sold most of his real estate empire but still manages quite a few prime properties.

Mr. Mills holds a BS degree in Business Administration from Syracuse University and a law degree from Cornell Law School. He is also active in several charitable organizations in his community.
