Deschutes Road Trust, Robert Hogue, Trustee - Page 6




                                        - 5 -                                         
          The Objection also states that Robert Hogue has authority to                
          represent the trust in this matter.                                         
               Attached to the Objection are copies of two purported trust            
          instruments.  The first purported trust instrument is dated                 
          January 1, 1994, and it identifies E.E. Salera D.C. as the                  
          “creator”3 of Deschutes Road Trust.  This instrument states that            
          the trust shall have at least two trustees, and it identifies a             
          Michael Welch and a Edmond A. Salera as the trustees.  The                  
          “creator” of the trust purports to “select and appoint” Michael             
          Welch as “the trustee”; Michael Welch then purports to “select              
          and appoint” Edmond A. Salera as “the trustee”, a power that                
          Welch does not appear to have under the instrument.  In addition,           
          although the instrument refers to Schedules “A” through “D” that            
          “are made a part hereof”, no such schedules are attached to, or             
          otherwise a part of, the instrument.                                        
               The second purported trust instrument is dated January 13,             
          1997, and it identifies a Carol Ruthenberg (also identified as              
          Carol Ruthenburg) as the “creator” (or “sovereign creator”) of              
          Deschutes Road Trust and Robert Hogue as “legal trustee” (or                
          “sovereign trustee”).  The instrument also states that there need           
          not be more than one trustee.  Although the instrument refers to            


               3  E.E. Salera, also known as Edmond E. Salera, has a case             
          pending before the Court assigned docket No. 3051-02.  It appears           
          that the letters “D.C.” following his name in the purported trust           
          instrument are an abbreviation for doctor of chiropractic.
