PREAMBLE EXPLANATION FOR REVISED
BYERS FAMILY IRREVOCABLE TRUST
WHEREAS, the true mutual intent of the parties was to
to provide an irrevocable Trust for the benefit of the parties'
daughters, Leah and Beth, for the real estate at 150 Byers Road,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in which the sole res of the
Trust was the said real estate; and that otherwise Galen would
be able to operate his farming business unimpeded for his
livelihood, in which at his death, said real estate was to vest
in the said daughters.
AND WHEREAS, the proposed Trust Agreement prepared by
Peter Ressler, Esquire, without any consultation with John J.
Krafsig, Jr., Esquire, Attorney for Plaintiff, Galen C. Byers,
unilaterally proposed a number of terms and conditions which were
never agreed to by the said Galen C. Byers. Attached hereto,
as Exhibit "A", is a true and correct copy of the scope of the
written proposal made by Arlene E. Byers to Galen C. Byers
unilaterally.
AND WHEREAS, the said proposed Trust Agreement does not
accurately reflect the true agreement of the parties and requires
the provisions hereinafter set forth to properly reflect the true
agreement by and between the said parties.
AND WHEREAS, it is fully known to the parties, that i. 11 the very purpose of the said Irrevocable Trust, was to reflect ;
an agreement between Galen C. Byers and his two daughters, and
that Arlene E. Byers was not to have any interest in the matter,
or be involved in the manner, by reason of a pending divorce
;
action in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; and in which despite
this fact, purported to have her named as a "Co-Trustee."
AND WHEREAS, it has been determined, that by reason of
the fact, that the gifting of a portion of the real estate to the
daughters, creates legal problems and contingencies that neither
of the daughters would have the ability to prevent, by virtue of
receiving even a fractional interest in the said real estate, prior
to the death of the said Galen C. Byers; which includes, but not
exclusively to the potential of impairing his security and right
to operate the business, in which any third party obtaining legal
right to their respective interest could cause an action of partition
to be filed; in the event of marital discord with a spouse, could
be the subject of equitable distribution; and in the event of any
financial problems regarding any creditors, could be the potential
subject matter of an attachment or lien; all of which would be
an invasion and detriment to the very right of the said Galen C.
Byers to be free from any such matters or occurrences that would
impede or impact on his ability to operate the farming business
and to enjoy a livelihood.
®n
AND WHEREAS, it was never intended the said Galen C.
Byers should in any way transmit or provide moneys, whether income
or principal of any nature to fund the said Trust; and therefore
a number of provisions in the prior prepared agreement are not
applicable and further federal and state taxes would be relatively
minimal in relation to the size of the asset and benefit to be
conferred to the said daughters; and that for a proper concern
for the right of the said Galen C. Byers to earn a livelihood
during his lifetime unimpeded by the actions of any third persons,
it is believed that the daughters beneficiaries are in accord with
the same.
AND WHEREAS, it was never intended between the parties
that the said Galen C. Byers should be responsible to account to
any other persons, which would constitute an unwarranted and in-
trusive invasion of his privacy and the right to conduct his-farm-
ing business unimpeded by actions of third persons, recognizing
therefore the legitimate concerns to reflect the security in the
foregoing revised agreement.
AND WHEREAS, by reason of the unilateral attempt to impose
conditions on Galen C. Byers relating to the funding of moneys,
both interest and principal and beyond the scope of which was intended,
i.e. the benefit of the daughters at his death, in which the daughters
retain all rights to make such disposition or estate planning,
as they deem proper and appropriate for their own interest.

Dear Mr. Elicker:

All Discovery Requests have been complied with in the above referenced matter.
As part of her preparation for trial, Mrs. Byers retained Harry Leister to perform an
evaluation of her pension. Mr. Leister completed that evaluation and a copy of his report was
provided to Mr. Krafsig as part of Mr. Krafsig's Discovery Requests. Mr. Krafsig requested
additional information and he was then provided with all of the background information and
materials which our office had supplied to Mr. Leister to enable him to prepare his report. Mr.
Krafsig has now requested that we provide him with a copy of Mr. Leister's handwritten
calculations verifying precisely how he determined the value of the pension.
I have advised Mr. Krafsig that I would contact Mr. Leister to determine whether such
hand written materials were available. If such material is available, I will review it and determine
whether it can be provided to Mr. Krafsig. Unfortunately, Mr. Leister is out of the office and will
not be back until after June 13, 2001 (today) and I have left a message for him to contact me
upon his return.
Despite the fact that this issue remains outstanding, I believe that the matter is ready to
move forward to the Pre-Trial Memorandum stage and Pre-Trial Conference.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Elicker:
In response to your letter of June 18, 2001, the parties
have been separated continuously in excess of two years, and we
are prepared to execute a Consent, pursuant to Rule 3301(d) with
Waiver of Notice of intent to Request Entry of the Divorce Decree.
I am by this letter, requesting Counsel for the Defendant
to acknowledge if they agree there has been a continuous separation
in excess of two years, and consent to the entry of a Decree in
Divorce, leaving only economic matters to be resolved by the Master.
If there is any dispute by Defendant, I will file an
Affidavit under Section 3301(d) of the Divorce Code, pursuant to
Rule 1920.72 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
Lastly, because of the inordinate delay and inaction
by the Defendant, a Motion for Counsel Fees and Costs will be
filed well before August 17, 2001.
The prompt reply of Counsel for the Defendant is sought
to respond to the Master's questions to determine the procedure
to follow.

RE: Galan C. Byers vs. Arlene E. Byers
No. 99 - 7641 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Krafsig and Ms. Mcilton:
Counsel appear to be in disagreement as to the status of discovery. According to
Ms. Mcilton the outstanding issue revolves around a valuation of a pension. If there are
other matters that need to be addressed, counsel can do so by filing a petition with the
Court requesting the Court's intervention in discovery matters.
I and going to assume that counsel have sufficient time to have the report of Mr.
Leister by the time we have a date for the filing of pretrial statements. Consequently, I
am going to proceed with the directive.
A divorce complaint was filed on December 23, 1999, raising grounds for divorce
of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and indignities. 1 assume that the parties will
either sign affidavits of consent or have been separated for a period in excess of two years
so there will be no issue with respect to grounds for divorce. If I am not correct, please
advise and we will schedule a hearing on indignities.
The divorce complaint also raised economic claims of equitable distribution and
alimony. No claims have been raised by either party for counsel fees and costs.

GALEN C. BYERS, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Vs. NO. 99 - 7641 CIVIL
ARLENE E. BYERS,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
RE: Pre-Hearing Conference Memorandum
DATE: Monday, December 10, 2001
THE MASTER: Today is Monday, December 10, 2001.
This is the date that we set for a conference with counsel and
the parties. By agreement of counsel, the parties did not
appear today. However, present for the Plaintiff, Galen C.
Byers, is attorney John J. Krafsig, Jr., and present for the
Defendant, Arlene E. Byers, is attorney Sandra L. Meilton.
We have had considerable discussion about the
assets and values of the assets that the parties have
suggested be applied to those assets. We also have outlined
in our discussion certain areas that need to be addressed in
terms of providing additional information, documentation,
appraisals, and lists. The Master is going to ask counsel to
go on the record to simply state their position regarding
continuing discovery that needs to be completed in order to
prepare the case for another conference with counsel and
hopefully with the parties the next time.
The Master has been advised that the parties will
both sign affidavits and waivers so that the divorce can be
concluded under Section 3301(c) of the Domestic Relations
Code. Counsel have also advised the Master that neither party
is going to make any claims for alimony. With respect to the
claim for counsel fees, if the case is not settled by
agreement, then both counsel preserve their right to request
payment of counsel fees.
Counsel have agreed that with respect to the
subdivision issue and engineering costs for the Byers Road
property, that they will share equally the cost of those fees.
The Master will schedule today another conference date for the
parties and counsel and hopefully the information that is
outlined today, that needs to be provided, will be available
to both counsel by the time we have the next conference
scheduled. Ms. Meilton.
MS. MEILTON: With regard to the engineering
firm for the subdivision of 150 Byers Road, I will, on behalf
of Mrs. Byers, check into the name suggested of Light Heigel
to determine whether that individual firm would be acceptable
to Mrs. Byers and if not, I will come back with suggestions to
Mr. Krafsig regarding other comparable firms that are
acceptable to her and to Mr. Byers.
We discussed the logistics of retaining and
making the best use of the engineering firm. At a minimum Mr.
Krafsig and I would meet initially with them to explain what
it was we were attempting to do. The concept would be to
create a farmette environment for the house and for Mrs. Byers
and to allocate the rest of the land to Mr. Byers for farming.
We want to make sure that the land remains useful for the
purposes that each party wants to use that land. In other
words, we want to make sure that whatever division we make, it
fits into the plans for the use of the property and does not
diminish the value of the farmette and the real estate.
We will talk about whether we need rights-of-way
for Mr. Byers to continue to use the farm, and we want to try
to minimize the cost of this by giving the engineer an idea of
what the parties hope to accomplish so that perhaps this can
be done with one drawing with may be some revisions if
necessary, but basically one drawing. The understanding would
be that Mr. Krafsig and I would not talk with the engineer
individually but would do conference calls or joint meetings.
To the extent that we believe it is helpful, we will include
our clients in those meetings.
Mrs. Byers is asking that Mr. Byers provide a
list -- and I believe that was agreed to -- that he would
provide a list of items that he believes were not appraised on
Mrs. Byers' appraisal of household goods and we can then
determine whether those need to be appraised or how we proceed
from that point. Also, if he has not provided a list of those
items which were his prior to marriage and that he definitely
wants back, it is in the pretrial statement. We will look at
the pretrial statement and the list of the items and work that
into our distribution of household goods. We did agree that
unless the Master needs testimony from the experts, we will
not call experts to testify, but will simply submit the record
from each expert. Understand that we may have to have a
supplemental report from Mr. Bricker if in fact he omitted
items from the original report.
We agreed that if neither party wanted the
1931 Ford, it should be sold
I can state that Mrs. Byers
does not want the Ford.
Mr. Byers is going to provide us with
verification of the transfer of money from the PNC account and
the Adams Bank to Orrstown Bank. It is his position that we
listed too many accounts and that the PNC and the Adams County
bank accounts have been closed and moved over to Orrstown
5
Bank. We are seeking verification of the day they were closed
out and the date that the new accounts were opened.
Mrs. Byers will provide a breakdown of rental
income and expenses for each individual rental property to Mr.
Byers for 2001 and for the year 2000. She will also provide
upon request the ledger books.
Mrs. Byers will give a breakdown of how the
$7,453.00 IRS refund was spent.
With regard to Galen's business and farm
equipment, he will provide verification that those are either
the same or different items and he will verify the source of
funds from which those assets were purchased and he will
verify that they were either purchased with marital property
or without the input of marital property. If Mr. Byers
indicates that the equipment was purchased with marital
property, that is the end. If he says it was purchased with
non-marital funds then he will verify the source of those
non-marital funds and purchases.
Mr. Byers indicates that there are checks
that Mrs. Byers has received indicating that they are being
signed back to her from the parties' daughters. Mr. Byers
will provide a list of those checks and Mrs. Byers will
explain what those checks are all about.
Mr. Byers has some questions on Fulton Bank
accounts and I will speak to Mrs. Byers about answering those
mi _
questions.
With regard to the pension, I will contact
Harry Leister. Mr. Leister has given some preliminary numbers
on the survivor benefit at $30,632.00 and then added a cost to
Mrs. Byers of $349.00 a month once it goes into pay status.
We will ask him to tell us what that means and whether we can
quantify it into a dollar value so it could be assigned to Mr.
Byers if he chooses to do that.
Mr. Krafsig will check with Mr. Byers to
determine whether in fact he did sign the deed transferring
the Pittsburgh real estate and what his involvement was with
that transaction, and he will determine from Mr. Byers whether
he wants any additional verification from Mrs. Byers or Leah
with regard to the financial arrangement for the purchase of
that property and whether Mrs. Byers has any remaining
interest in the property. Mrs. Byers will provide copies of
the loan document for the money borrowed to assist Leah in the
purchase of the Pittsburgh real estate. Mr. Krafsig will
check with Mr. Byers to make sure that he wants to pursue this
issue by requesting a letter from Leah and her husband as to
the nature of the transaction that they made with the
Defendant wife.
MR. KRAFSIG: Let the record indicate that I
just want to supplement Ms. Meilton's statement with regard to
the verification of what would constitute Adams County Bank to
Orrstown Bank and PNC Bank to Orrstown Bank; that the
verification would consist of two things, we will give her a
statement from Orrstown Bank as to the date and amount of
monies that was received from each institution and we will
give her a statement from Adams County Bank and Orrstown Band
that the monies were transferred and there are no other
accounts that exist at this time.
(A discussion was held off the record.)
MR. KRAFSIG: with regard to the New
Cumberland Federal Credit Union and the Fulton Bank that we
have previously discussed, that you will implement that
information as to the source of the monies that we have talked
about and also about -- in other words, there were certain
transfers to Fulton Bank that we had not received any
information about and requested specific as to what those
transfers consisted of and what that was about, and also the
source of the monies in the Fulton Bank.
THE MASTER: Anything else?
MR. KRAFSIG: I believe that covers it.
THE MASTER: A conference with counsel and
the parties is scheduled for Friday, February 15, 2002, at
9:00 a.m. Notices will be sent to counsel and the parties.

Dear Mr. Elicker:
I received the Defendant's Inventory and Appraisement
and Income & Expenses on March 5, 2001; and then the Defendant's
Answers to Plaintiff's Interrogatories and Production of Documents
on March 20, 2001; and then received the Defendant's Interroga-
tories in excess of 40 and Defendant's Request for Production of
Documents on March 21, 2001; and I received the Notice of her
Motion for the Appointment of a Master, March 22, 2001.
Further, I received a Second Set of Interrogatories
and Productions by the Defendant on March 24, 2001.
Without any consultation with me, as to our position
on outstanding discovery and whether or not it was completed;
and not withstanding that substantial discovery is still out-
standing, Attorney Meilton filed her Motion for the Appointment
of a Master.
There is information on very substantial assets of the
Defendant, that is needed to be addressed before a hearing can
properly commence.
We have had practically no time to digest the
Defendant's Inventory and Appraisement, and Attorney Meilton has
been informed of our position and requested to withdraw her
Motion until discovery is actually completed. There are assets
in excess of $300,000.00 that need to be properly addressed
before a hearing.
Therefore I request your directive as to what procedure
is to be followed to resolve these outstanding matters. Noting
that Attorney Meilton filed for more discovery after she filed
for the Appointment of the Master.

Dear Mr. Elicker:
Sandra L, Meilton
srlN:?ttornttuckcrlaw com
In response to Mr. Krafsig's letter of March 24, 2001, 1 would note that the parties have
been separated since March of 1999 and during the ensuing two years, Mrs. Byers has
provided all documentation and information requested by Mr. Byers. Most recently Mrs. Byers
provided Answers to a formal Request for Production of Documents and Interrogatories which
were filed on Mr. Byers' behalf. To my knowledge, all of the discovery filed by Mr. Byers has
been answered with the only items outstanding being bank account records which had to be
obtained from the banks.
Mr. Krafsig's representation that a Request for Production of Documents and
Interrogatories were recently filed on Mr. Byers is accurate. This is specifically noted on our
Motion to list the matter for a Master's Hearing. I proceeded to list the matter for a Master's
Hearing assuming that the thirty day period for answering discovery would run before we would
even have a pretrial conference. The second Request for Production of Documents which was
filed on March 24, 2001 was filed because of Mr. Byers' objection to answering more than 40
Interrogatories (including subparts) per the Cumberland County Rules. As a result of the
objection, information that could have been obtained simply by written response will have to be
obtained via Mr. Byers producing records to document the requested information. However,
since the Request for Production must also be answered within a specified time frame, all of the
discovery should be answered well in advance of a pretrial conference.
If possible, therefore, I would appreciate it if this matter could remain listed and a pretrial
conference scheduled.
Sincerely,
TUCKER ARENSBERG& SWARTZ

Dear Mr. Elicker:
Esquire In Re: Byers v. Byers
No. 99-7641
Civil Term
17013
Procedurally, the Defendant has filed two sets of
Interrogatories and two sets of extensive motions to Produce
Documents, the first under date of March 20, 2001 and under date
of March 24, 2001, which were subsequent to her filing of an
appointment of a Master.
Presently, we have objected to the First Set of
Interrogatories in violation of Cumberland County Rules of 40,
which by our count, is an excess of 100, for which I have not
received an acknowledgement from counsel for the Defendant, if
they are being withdrawn.
It appears by reason of the numerous requests for
Production of Documents, will require an extension above the 30
day period; which also raises the question, in the absence of
consent by Counsel for the Defendant, should such possible Motion
for Extension be presented to you or the Court?
On the Plaintiff Is side, because of the Inventory and
Appraisement and Answers to our First Set of Discovery filed by
the Defendant, there are numerous questions about certain assets
and listings that are required to be send under date of April 11,
2001 and for the production of a number of documents.
By reason of the same, I would conservatively estimate,
in minimum of 90-days from April 11th to have discovery completed,
provided a number of objections are able to be timely resolved.
Trusting this will clarify our position on the status
of discovery,
very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Elicker:
The first set of Interrogatories has been withdrawn because it was in excess of the 40
question Cumberland County limit. As indicated in my letter of March 29, 2001 (a copy of which
was provided to Mr. Krafsig), the Second Request for Production of Documents was filed to
ascertain the information which could not be obtained through Interrogatories. I have advised
Mr. Krafsig that the first set of Interrogatories need not be answered.
A pretrial conference would be beneficial to keep this matter moving forward and I
would, therefore, respectively request that a pretrial conference be set after the thirty day limit
for answering discovery.
Thank you for your assistance.

to Attorney Meilton's letter of April 18,
our position in my letter to you dated
Counsel fails to recognize all answers to discovery may
not be responsive and require additional elaboration.
There is, for example, specific information needed and
requested regarding the Report of Harry Leister, Actuarial, regard-
ing Defendant's pension benefits and evaluations, that I need to
review above and beyond his report that was only provided recently;
although sought a number of months prior. This relates to a very
substantial asset in Equitable Distribution and I cannot act upon
it the same day her response is received.
I believe it will be more beneficial to the Master and

all discovery is completed. To attempt to use the date of sending

PETITION FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
AND NOW comes Arlene E. Byers, Defendant, through her attorneys, Sandra L.
Meilton, Esquire, of Tucker Arensberg & Swartz, and hereby petitions this Honorable Court
as follows:
The parties are husband and wife and currently engaged in the divorce action
docketed to the above term and number.
2. During the course of their marriage, for real estate investment purposes, the
parties jointly purchased several pieces of real estate in Cumberland County.
3. One such property is located at 901 West Trindle Road, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania. The lot next to said property is also owned jointly by the Plaintiff and
Defendant.
4. The tenants occupying said property are Jay and Mary Way and these
individuals have resided at said property since approximately 1997.
5. As part of the divorce proceedings, Plaintiff has valued these two properties at
$125,000 and $50,000, respectively, for a total of $175,000 and Defendant has valued said
properties at $157,000 and $29,000, respectively, for a total of $186,000.
6. Mr. and Mrs. Way have approached Defendant about purchasing the two
pieces of real estate from the parties.
• 1
i
7• The amount agreed upon between the tenants and Defendant for the purchase
ii
of these two properties is $190,000, an amount higher than either party has valued said
properties.
8. Mr. and Mrs. Way are anxious to move forward with the purchase of the
property and have indicated to Defendant that if the sale cannot be consummated very shortly,
they will commence a search for another property to purchase.
9. Defendant is desirous of moving forward with the sale of these two properties to
Mr. and Mrs. Way in an expeditious manner so as not to lose the potential sale.
10. Defendant's counsel has written to Plaintiffs counsel on two occasions
concerning this issue and has had no response other than a telephone call to Defendant's
counsel to question the potential purchase price. (see attached Exhibits "A" and "B")
11. If Mr. and Mrs. Way's offer is not accepted, it is not likely that Plaintiff and
Defendant will be able to obtain such a high price for the property from future prospective
buyers.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests that Plaintiff be ordered to cooperate fully with
regard to the sale of the two properties to Mr. and Mrs. Way including, but not limited to,
executing any and ail documents in connection therewith.
Respectfully submitted,
I

RE: Byers
Dear John:
March 28, 2001
- li
Arlene has been approached by the tenants in 901 East Trindle Road with the request
that they be allowed to enter into a Sales Agreement to purchase the property. While I did not
go into detail with Arlene, I do know that the purchase price offered by the tenants is higher than
the value either Arlene or Galen have placed on the property on their Inventory and
Appraisement forms.
Arlene would like to sell the property to the tenants and I would appreciate it if you would
let me know whether Galen is willing to agree to the sale. Obviously, if the real estate is sold,
the proceeds can be placed in an escrow account until the equitable distribution issues are
resolved.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible so that if Galen is interested in
selling the real estate, we can get an agreement signed.
Sincerely,
SLM/smk

IN DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO DEFENDANT'S PETITION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
AND NOW, comes the above mentioned Plaintiff, by his
lawful counsel, John J. Krafsig, Jr., Esquire, who makes the
following answer to the Defendant's Petition, to wit:
1. Paragraph 1, is admitted.
2. Paragraph 2, is admitted.
3. Paragraph 3, is admitted.
4. Paragraph 4, is admitted.
5. Paragraph 5, is admitted.
6. The Plaintiff has no knowledge of the said
Mr. & Mrs. Way approaching the Defendant and strict proof is
herewith demanded.
7. The statement allegation, does not address
the matter of capital gains tax to be imposed upon the parties,
- 1 -
which is reasonably believed that the said potential liability
would reasonably occur; and would certainly occur within sub-
sequent to any such sale; which has a further impact on equitable
distribution and tax consequences to the parties.
8. The Plaintiff has no knowledge, as to the
intentions or any representations of Mr. & Mrs. Way; as the
Defendant, knowing the Plaintiff is a joint owner, choice to
unilaterally engage in discussions, without any consultation
whatsoever with the Plaintiff or his counsel.
Further, the allegation is not a proper
basis for the invoking special relief, as said asset can properly
be adjusted in final equitable distribution; and because there
are other assets that are involved in fashioning equitable dis-
tribution relief, plus the consideration that the Plaintiff may
wish to acquire the property, as part of equitable distribution,
which further demonstrates there is no basis for such a request.
Additionally the matter of $4,000.00 over the
valuation, is hardly a justifiable basis to invoke a Petition for
Special Relief.
9. The allegation of Defendant in paragraph 9,
best illustrates the unilateral manner and method employed by her,
oblivious to the Plaintiff's rights and concerns; and byway of
further answer, the answers to paragraphs 7 and 8 are incorporated
- 2 -
by reference.
Additionally there is no irreputable harm
pleaded or established for recognized equitable relief.
10. That Defendant's counsel is noted by Plain-
tiff's counsel fails to recite, that not only there was no
discussion or input as to the proposal in which both Exhibits
"A" and "B", clearly shows that the purpose price of $190,000.00
was not even disclosed and courtesy extended to reveal that
information, but required a phone call to Defendant's counsel
to determine the alleged purchase price, in which no explanation
is offered or set forth by Defendant or her counsel, why this
information was not set forth in their Exhibits "A" and "B".
11. Paragraph 11 is denied and is pure specula-
tion, and strict proof is herewith demanded.
By way of further answer, the rationale of
the well reasoned case of Kozloski v. Kozloski, 43 D & C 3d
160 (1987), in addressing the requirements for special relief;
that any situation that can be accounted for or adjusted in
final equitable distribution, is not subject to special relief,
as provided by the Divorce code; nor is it meant to have a pre-
mature determination of marital property, or premature equitable
distribution.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff prays that said Petition
- 3 -
filed by the Defendant, be denied and dismissed.
Respectfully submitted,

In Re: Byers v. Byers
No. 7641 Civil 1999
received from your office,
to complete discovery, in
follows:
For quite sometime we have been seeking specifics
regarding the basis and computations of Mr. Leister, acturial
expert for the Defendant.
This information is needed to determine how the
computations were made and the basis for the same, which could
reflect a swing of more than $100,000 above his valuation, as
Defendant's pension is a very substantial asset in Equitable
Distribution.
I have been advised by Counsel for the Defendant,
that they are trying to obtain this information for me.
Therefore, upon receipt of the necessary information, I
will then be able to inform the Master, when the matter is ready
for hearing.

assuming that Galen is seeking to bifurcate the divorce and have the Divorce Decree entered
prior to the resolution of the economic issues?
I have forwarded a copy of your letter to Mr. Elicker to Arlene for her consideration and

GALEN C. BYERS, Plaintiff IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
VS. CIVIL ACTION - LAW
ARLENE E. BYERS NO. 7641 CIVIL 'PERM, 1999
,
Defendant IN DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO DEFENDANT'S
PETITION FOR ALIMONY PENDENTE LITE, COUNSEL
FEES AND EXPENSES
AND NOW, comes the above mentioned Plaintiff, by his
lawful counsel, John J. Krafsig, Jr., Esquire, who answers the
Defendant's Petition, as follows:
1. Paragraph 1 is fully denied; and contains no
specifics, other than a mere generality, which is untrue. Byway
of further answer, it has been an inordinate delay by the Defendant
to provide necessary information to proceed ahead, that has caused
the Plaintiff unnecessary counsel fees and expenses, for which
a Petition in behalf of the Plaintiff is presently being prepared
for presentation to the Court.
2. The Plaintiff asserts that the allegation in
his opinion, is a sham; and that the Defendant knew before filing
- 1 -
this Petition, that she currently earns $115,000.00 a year with
the United States Bankruptcy Court, has numerous fringe benefits,
including a substantial pension; in which the Plaintiff, a farmer,
earns approximately $54,000.00 a year (varies year to year) and
has no pension and none of the fringe benefits that the Defendant
enjoys. By way of further answer, the Defendant has been in con-
trol of the receipt of thousand of dollars of rental moneys from
marital properties. In addition, the Defendant has committed herself
to a very substantial purchase of real estate in Allegheny County
in excess of $200,000.00 and the said request is incredible and
a part of an on-going vindictive course of conduct pattern by the
Defendant. By way of further answer, the Defendant has not only
been on par in defending her rights; but has such substantial moneys
that she has been able to maintain herself, living presently rent
free in the marital home and has fully been able to maintain her
rights in this proceeding. Further, there is absolutely no actual
need for alimony pendente lite, counsel fees or expenses, nor has
any been set forth to the Court, to establish any merit to this
claim, which is totally devoid of merit; and said claim is contrary
to the Appellate Case Law of this Commonwealth.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff moves your Honorable Court to deny
the said Petition forthwith; and
A. Additionally although the Defendant knows the
-2 -
parties have been separated in excess of two continuous years,
has refused to acknowledge the same; and then ask the Court to
dissolve the marriage between the Plaintiff and Defendant, which
is overdue;
B. There is no justification of any award of any
alimony pendente lite, counsel fees and costs, as requested by
the Defendant in her prayer; and
C. That the Court order and direct there is no merit
or justification to the said Petition.
Dated. ,QQ 2001

6. Accrued monthly pension as of March 1, 1999 - $4,082.
6, High three-year average salary - $80,636.
Currently, Arlene Byers is 64 years of age (age nearest birthday).
The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) is a defined benefit pension plan. The
figure that Is marital property for divorce purposes with respect to the defined
benefit pension plan is the present value of the pension earned during the marriage.
As.previously indicated, Arlene Byers had accrued a monthly pension its of the
date of separation of $4,082: Since this benefit takes into account 2.79 years of
service before the date of marriage, It is necessary to multiply by a "coverture
fraction" in order to determine the portion of the pension earned during the
marriage. The numerator of the "coverture fraction" is 29.48 (the years from the
date of marriage until the date of separation) and the denominnior is 32.27 (the
years from the service computation date until the date of separation). Thus, the
hcoverture fraction" is .91 (29.48 divided by 32.27).
The portion of Arlene Byers' pension benefit earned during the marriage is $3,716
($4,082 multiplied by .91).

While Arlene Byers is covered under the Civil Service Retirement System, she is not covered
for Social Security benefits. In accordance with the Cornbleth vs. Cornbleth decision, It is
newssary to calculate what bar Social Security benefit would have been if shd had been
covered for this benefit. On the basis of the earnings information previously indicated and
assuming the previous earnings increased in accordance with the increase in the U.S. average
salaries and taking into account an appropriate coverture fraction, the estimated Social
Security benefit attributable to the marriage to start at age 65 is $1,136 per month.
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I made calculations for retirement at age 66.
The following table shows the present value of the pension earned during the marriage:
Present Value of Benefits
Earned During Marriage
Retirement Social
Agee CSRS $ccurity Hd
65 $312,337 $95,619 $216,818
The Social Security benefit and Elie pension benefit provided by the Civil Service Retirement
Sysl:em are Indexed. What this means is that each year the benefit increases In accordance
with the Consumer Price Index. The above figures are based on the assumption that the
Consumer Price Index would increase at the rote of 3.0% per year. The Consumer Price Index
increased on the average at the rate of 5.17% per year over the last 30 years, 4.24% per year
over the last 20 years and 3.00% per year over the last 10 years.
The present value computations have been based upon the assumptions promulgated by ilia
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for annuity valuations. The Interest rate is 6.4% per
year for 20 years followed by 6.25% per year. The mortality is in accordance with the 1983
Grasp Annuity Mortality Table for males, rated six years for females.
In my opinion, the assumptions promulgated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation are
appropriate for the purpose of determining the present values.

6. High three-year average salary - $80,635.
Currently, Arlene Byers is 54 years of age (age nearest birthday).
The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) is a defined benefit pension plan. The
figure that is marital property for divorce purposes with respect to the defined
benefit pension plan is the present value of the pension earned during the marriage.
As previously indicated, Arlene Byers had accrued a monthly pension as of the
date of separation of $4,082. Since this benefit takes into account 2.79 years of
service before the date of marriage, it is necessary to multiply by a "coverture
fraction" in order to determine the portion of the pension earned during the
marriage. The numerator of the "coverture fraction" is 29.48 (the years from the
date of marriage until the date of separation) and the denominator is 32.27 (the
years from the service computation date until the date of separation). Thus, the
"coverture fraction" is .91 (29.48 divided by 32.27).
The portion of Arlene Byers' pension benefit earned during the marriage is $3,715
($4,082 multiplied by.91).

While Arlene Byers is covered under the Civil Service Retirement System, she is not covered
for Social Security benefits. In accordance with the Cornbleth vs. Cornbleth decision, it is
necessary to calculate what her Social Security benefit would have been if she had been
covered for this benefit. On the basis of the earnings information previously indicated and
assuming the previous earnings increased in accordance with the increase in the U.S. average
salaries and taking into account an appropriate coverture fraction, the estimated Social
Security benefit attributable to the marriage to start at age 65 is $1,136 per month.
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I made calculations for retirement at age 65.
The following table shows the present value of the pension earned during the marriage:
Present Value of Benefits
Retirement Earned Durin Marriage
Social
Age CSRS Security Net
65 $312,337 $95,519
$216,818
The Social Security benefit and the pension benefit provided by the Civil Service Retirement
System are indexed. What this means is that each year the benefit increases in accordance
with the Consumer Price Index. The above figures are based on the assumption that the
Consumer Price Index would increase at the rate of 3.0% per year. The Consumer Price Index
increased on the average at the rate of 5.17% per year over the last 30 years, 4.24% per year
over the last 20 years and 3.00% per year over the last 10 years.
The present value computations have been based upon the assumptions promulgated by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for annuity valuations. The interest rate is 6.4% per
year for 20 years followed by 6.25% per year. The mortality is in accordance with the 1983
Group Annuity Mortality Table for males, rated six years for females.
In my opinion, the assumptions promulgated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation are
appropriate for the purpose of determining the present values.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO DEFENDANT'S
PETITION FOR ALIMONY PENDENTE LITE, COUNSEL
FEES AND EXPENSES
AND NOW, comes the above mentioned Plaintiff, by his
lawful counsel, John J. Krafsig, Jr., Esquire, who answers the
Defendant's Petition, as follows:
1. Paragraph 1 is fully denied; and contains no
specifics, other than a mere generality, which is untrue. By way
of further answer, it has been an inordinate delay by the Defendant
to provide necessary information to proceed ahead, that has caused
the Plaintiff unnecessary counsel fees and expenses, for which
a Petition in behalf of the Plaintiff is presently being prepared
for presentation to the Court.
2. The Plaintiff asserts that the allegation in
his opinion, is a sham; and that the Defendant knew before filing
- 1 -
this Petition, that she currently earns $115,000.00 a year with
the United States Bankruptcy Court, has numerous fringe benefits,
including a substantial pension; in which the Plaintiff, a farmer,
earns approximately $54,000.00 a year (varies year to year) and
has no pension and none of the fringe benefits that the Defendant
enjoys. By way of further answer, the Defendant has been in con-
trol of the receipt of thousand of dollars of rental moneys from
marital properties. In addition, the Defendant has committed herself
to a very substantial purchase of real estate in Allegheny County
in excess of $200,000.00 and the said request is incredible and
a part of an on-going vindictive course of conduct pattern by the
Defendant. By way of further answer, the Defendant has not only
been on par in defending her rights; but has such substantial moneys
that she has been able to maintain herself, living presently rent
free in the marital home and has fully been able to maintain her
rights in this proceeding. Further, there is absolutely no actual
need for alimony pendente lite, counsel fees or expenses, nor has
any been set forth to the Court, to establish any merit to this
claim, which is totally devoid of merit; and said claim is contrary
to the Appellate Case Law of this Commonwealth.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff moves your Honorable Court to deny
the said Petition forthwith; and
A. Additionally although the Defendant knows the
-2 -
r. ..r ?., Ind -
parties have been separated in excess of two continuous years,
has refused to acknowledge the same; and then ask the Court to
dissolve the marriage between the Plaintiff and Defendant, which
is overdue;
B. There is no justification of any award of any
alimony pendente lite, counsel fees and costs, as requested by
the Defendant in her prayer; and
C. That the Court order and direct there is no merit
or justification to the said Petition.

4. Date separated -March 1

Jnhn n. Vargn. A S..\. ,
.
5. Accrued monthly pension as of March 1, 1999 - $4,082.
6. High three-year average salary - $80,635.
Currently, Arlene Byers is 54 years of age (age nearest birthday).
The Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) is a defined benefit pension plan. The
figure that is mnrital property for divorce purposes with respect to the defined
benefit pension plan is the present value of the pension earned during the marriage.
As previously indicated, Arlene Byers had accrued a monthly pension as of the
date of separation of $4,082. Since this benefit takes into account 2.79 years of
service before the date of marriage, it is necessary to multiply by a "coverture
fraction" in order to determine the portion of the pension earned during the
marriage. The numerator of the "coverture fraction" is 29.48 (the years from the
date of marriage until the date of separation) and the denominator is 32.27 (the
years from the service computation date until the date of separation). Thus, the
"coverture fraction" is .91 (29.48 divided by 32.27).
The portion of Arlene Byers' pension benefit earned during the marriage is $3,715
($4,082 multiplied by .91).
Exhibit "C" J
AM I Conrad M. Siegel, Inc.

While Arlene Byers is covered under the Civil Service Retirement System, she is not covered
for Social Security benefits. In accordance with the Cornbleth vs. Cornbleth decision, it is
necessary to calculate what her Social Security benefit would have been if she had been
covered for this benefit. On the basis of the earnings information previously indicated and
assuming the previous earnings increased in accordance with the increase in the U.S. average
salaries and taking into account an appropriate coverture fraction, the estimated Social
Security benefit attributable to the marriage to start at age 65 is $1,136 per month.
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I made calculations for retirement at age 65.
The following table shows the present value of the pension earned during the marriage:
Present Value of Benefits
Earned During Marriage
Retirement Social
Age CSRS Security Net
65 $312,337 $95,519 $216,818
The Social Security benefit and the pension benefit provided by the Civil Service Retirement
System are indexed. What this means is that each year the benefit increases in accordance
with the Consumer Price Index. The above figures are based on the assumption that the
Consumer Price Index would increase at the rate of 3.0% per year. The Consumer Price Index
increased on the average at the rate of 5.17% per year over the last 30 years, 4.24% per year
over the last 20 years and 3.00% per year over the last 10 years.
The present value computations have been based upon the assumptions promulgated by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for annuity valuations. The interest rate is 6.4% per
year for 20 years followed by 6.25% per year. The mortality is in accordance with the 1983
Group Annuity Mortality Table for males, rated six years for females.
In my opinion, the assumptions promulgated by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation are
appropriate for the purpose of determining the present values.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
