I have been an asset to everyone who has been
associated with me in any way. I have been good for
the world. I am more than average. And I want a more
than average monument to my life. More than a slab in
a cemetery.
Aronson Machine Company is not a monument to me.
The Big House on Hundred Acres is. I designed the Big
House--invented it--and was its architect and builder.
It is unique. It is my monument.
It is my wish that my monument, the Big House and
Hundred Acres, be preserved pretty much as it is as
long as possible. No changes shall be made in the Big
House that would alter its true basic concept.
Bar (Barney Peter Aronson) has been my back up and
right hand man since April 1982. I have been training
him to manage my estate after my death. No other
family member has done anything for me and my monument.
Therefore, I leave all my worldly goods after
Death Taxes to Barney Peter Aronson.
This involves skipping a generation and adds to
the tax burden. My son, Barney Roman Aronson, is only
11 years 9 months younger than I and won’t live long
enough to preserve my monument very long after my
death. Barney Peter Aronson is 42 years younger than I
& can be expected to preserve my monument a long time
after my death.
Death Taxes will take so much of my estate that
Bar inheriting Hundred Acres will not have enough
income to maintain Hundred Acres and the Big House if
my estate is divided among several members of the
family.
If my estate amounts to $5,500,000 when I die
* * * and Bar is my sole heir, he will inherit
approximately $2,200,000 including Hundred Acres,
building and contents. * * *
* * * * * * *
Thus, to assure preservation of my monument for a
fairly long term, Barney Peter Aronson is my sole heir.
