As much of the net income and the principal as my trustee, in her sole discretion, may from time to time think desirable may be distributed to such one or more of my children, in such amounts or proportions as my trustee may, from time to time, think appropriate; and 2.

Accordingly, I direct that my said trustee shall have full authority to distribute the income from the trust among my children and that the distributions need not be equal; that one or more of the eligible distributees may be wholly excluded from any or periodic distributions; and that the pattern followed in one distribution need not be followed in others; that income may be accumulated to whatever.. extent and ~.n whatever amounts my trustee may think appropriate; and that my trustee may give consideration to the other resources of each of the eligible distributees as my trustee may think appropriate. 4.
