children, BEN HOCKER and SALL Y 1. AIGNER, and my sister, CLARA JOAN
HERMAN, as they can agree. Any items not desired by any of these individuals shall be
disposed of as my Executrix deems fit and LIte proceeds therefrom added to the residue of
my estate. I direct that all the rest, residue and remainder of my estate be divided into three
equal shares, one such share to my son, BEN HOCKER, of Minnetonka, Minnesota, or his

Illinois, or her issue, per stirpes; and one such share to my sister, CLARA JOAN HERMAN,

or credit, with or without security), mOltgage, lease and dispose of and distribute in kind, all
property, real and personal at such times and upon such terms and conditions that she may
deem advisable.
5. I nominate, constitute and appoint my sister, CLARA JOAN HERMAN, as
Executrix of this, my Last vVill and Testament. In the event of the renunciation" death,
resignation or inability to act for any reason whatsoever of my said sister, I nominate,
