I would like to arrange for Max to step down as truste= of the marital trusts. All that this requires is that each of you authorize him to do so. I've explained some of the reasons. There are others. In general, I want to make a clean break from what has been happening for the past few years. I would then like to appoi=t Richard Kahn as Trustee. As you know, he is the financial advisor/acc=untant I have been working with, extremely competent and trustworthy. I hope this can be done quickly and expeditiously. In brief, I've worked hard all my life and have ma=aged to set aside funds to ensure your security and the security of your childre= -- the two houses, trusts, in substantial sums. Valeria and I are very happy together.
