                                        - 3 -                                         
                                     Background                                       
               On or about July 25, 1993, Judith and Kenneth Harrison                 
          boarded their private aircraft in Roosevelt, Utah.  The aircraft            
          thereafter failed to arrive at its destination of Camarillo,                
          California, and the Harrisons were never again seen or heard                
          from.                                                                       
               On April 1, 1994, Orders for Probate were issued by the                
          California Superior Court with respect to the estates of Mr. and            
          Mrs. Harrison.  An attachment to each order recited the court’s             
          findings and concluded as follows:                                          
                    It unfortunately appearing that it is more                        
               probable than not that the aircraft crashed en route                   
               and that JUDITH UTZ HARRISON [or KENNETH REED HARRISON]                
               died as a result thereof, the orders hereinafter set                   
               forth should be made and entered.                                      
                    IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that JUDITH UTZ HARRISON                  
               [or KENNETH REED HARRISON] is a missing person who is                  
               presumed dead under P.C. � 12401, that the date of                     
               JUDITH UTZ HARRISON’S [or KENNETH REED HARRISON’S]                     
               death is presumed to be the date hereof and that                       
               RICHARD J. TEJEDA is appointed to act as the Executor                  
               of the Will of JUDITH UTZ HARRISON [or KENNETH REED                    
               HARRISON], as set forth hereinabove.                                   
               Subsequently, on May 27, 1994, the California Department of            
          Health Services entered a Court Order Delayed Registration of               
          Death for each of the Harrisons.  These documents indicated that            
          the date of death was April 1, 1994, and the cause of death was             
          “Unknown.  Believed to be trauma suffered in crash of small                 
          aircraft.”
