Robert died last month. His will contained the following dispositions:
1. I leave $190,000 to my trustees to be used to build and maintain a
large yellow pyramid as a tribute to the contributions to mankind

made by my parents and grandparents. This fund is to be applied for
as long as the law shall allow.
