I =m getting very concerned about how all this is going to affect Noam. =They don't seem to be willing to allow any
changes (not even for tax p=yments). It seems to be also a question of control at least in appro=ing or disapproving our
expenses, something that Noam doesn't want and=doesn't allow, as well as I don't. It is a complete inversio= of roles.
They think the money is theirs and not Noam's and the= have to make the decisions. They are never going to feel
comfortabl= approving anyone that doesn't respond directly to them. And the=whole situation is very sad to Noam.
Not fair at all. Surreal.=div>

Dear Dodd=y,
We were so saddened to hear about Ed =erman. What a terrible loss.
We understand that you want to live w=th comfort and financial security. We want that for you as well.
If you want to discuss Max stepping d=wn as Trustee, Harry would need to meet with you to discuss that. From our past
experience, it's clear that a professional mediator would =e needed at this meeting.
At this point we don't feel c=mfortable approving Richard Kahn to replace Max as Trustee.
love, Avi, Diane and Harry

Back from Mexico, and there's some business 11= like to take care of.
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. 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.
