or alterations in the structure or the general make-up
of the “Big House” on Hundred Acres shall ever be made.
THIRD: I hereby create a Trust and give into it
all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of
every kind and nature and wheresoever situate, such to
be held secure for my grandson, BARNEY PETER ARONSON,

much income from such assets as she needs, for as long
as she lives, and upon her death this Trust will then
be liquidated and the proceeds given to my grandson,
BARNEY PETER ARONSON, as administered by the Executor,
BARNEY PETER ARONSON, or if he be dead, by alternate
Executor, my son BARNEY ROMAN ARONSON, or third, if he
also be dead, my grandson, SCOTT HALEY ARONSON, or if
