that a proxy may be given by a member or the agent by telegram or cable or its equivalent. A proxy shall not be valid for more than 11 months unless a longer time is expressly
provided therein, but in no event shall a proxy be valid after 3 years from the date
of execution. Unless it is coupled with an interest, a proxy shall be revocable at will. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the member but the proxy
shall continue in force until revoked by the personal representative or guardian of
the member. The presence at any meeting of any member who has given a proxy shall not revoke
the proxy unless the member shall file written notice of revocation with the secretary
of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. b. A person named in a proxy as the attorney or agent of a member may, if the proxy
so provides, substitute another person to act in that person's place, including any

with the secretary of the corporation.
