          Walker).  Ms. Thompson attended one or two of the meetings at               
          which the discussions took place.  Mr. Walker discussed ways to             
          reduce Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt’s projected estate tax liability and             
          advised them on the effect of the Federal gift tax, gifting                 
          schedules, and charitable donations.   Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt were             
          concerned about the considerable size of their estate and                   
          potential estate tax problems.  Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt wanted their            
          children to inherit as much of their estate as possible.                    
               From 1980 through 1992, in accordance with Mr. Walker’s                
          advice, decedent engaged in a pattern of making gifts to her                
          daughters, their husbands, and her grandchildren in an attempt to           
          reduce the size of her estate.  Decedent personally made all the            
          gifts during this period.  The gifts made by decedent from 1980             
          through 1992 were as follows:
