DECISION AND ORDER
LAGUEUX, District Judge.
After spending eight years in the judicial system, almost three of which have been spent in this Court, this case is ready for disposition after a bench trial. The sole issue remaining before this Court is whether defendants BankBoston and James Winoker committed a breach of trust in their handling of a particular trust asset, namely, stock in CML Group, Inc. (the maker of Nordic Track equipment among other things). This Court concludes that they did not.
