HANNA, SUSAN C. CARDENAS, STEVEN M. HESS and GARY L. HESS,
provided that should any of my children predecease rne, I give and

IN SEPARATE TRUSTS, to hold, manage, invest and reinvest the
shares so received, and to use and apply from t:irne to time such
portion of income and principal for the said grandchild's
education (including college, trade school or other similar
training or education), as my Trustee or Trustees, in their sole
discretion, deem advisable. The Trustee or Trustees, in exercis-
i~
ing their discretionary authority with respect to the payment of
income or principal of the within Trust to my grandchildren,

tributed to each grandchild when he or she attains the age of
twenty-two (22) years. In the event any of my grandchildren die
