I'd be happy to arrange a call with Rich and Max. Would you like to ask Rich to send some time options to
Max and me, and we'll see what we can work out?

I heard from Richard Kahn that he is available to talk to Harry today, or in the next few days. OK to give
him Harry's telephone number?

For further clarification, I would suggest that we arrange a telephone conversation between Harry and
our financial adviser Richard Kahn, who knows and understands the relevant circumstances very well.

I'm sorry to hear that you are unwilling to accept my request. I don't know what past experience you
are referring to, but there is nothing in my experience that suggests that a "professional mediator"
would have anything at all to say about this matter. I also don't understand what is to be "mediated."
You evidently see a conflict that I don't. There's nothing to discuss with Harry, with or without a
mediator. It's simple and straightforward, as I have explained in a series of letters.

I Dear Doddoy,
We were so saddened to hear about Ed Herman. What a terrible loss.

We understand that you want to live with comfort and financial security. We want that for you as well.
If you want to discuss Max stepping down as Trustee, Harry would need to meet with you to discuss that. From our past
experience, it's clear that a professional mediator would be needed at this meeting.
At this point we don't feel comfortable approving Richard Kahn to replace Max as Trustee.
Love, Avi, Diane and Harry

Subject: Marital Trusts
Back from Mexico, and there's some business I'd like to take care of.
I would like to arrange for Max to step down as trustee 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 appoint Richard Kahn as Trustee. As you know, he is the financial advisor/accountant 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 managed to set aside funds to ensure your security
and the security of your children -- the two houses, trusts, in substantial sums. Valeria and I are
very happy together. I think I now have the right to live the rest of my life in peace and tranquility,
without constant financial concerns, in fact like everyone else I know
Those who remain. You have perhaps heard that my old friend Ed Herman died a few days ago.
