All proceeds that were directed to the children of my son, David M. Ambrose, Sr., according
to the original will dated 4NY't. 'l. J If 'f~ are not to be distributed but placed in a trust
for the education and speCial needs of the grandchildren of David M. Ambrose, Sr. David
M. Ambrose, Sr., or his designee, will act as the trustee and his decisions are considered as
absolute, final and complete.
The type of trust is to be determined at the time of the execution of my Will according to
