Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Stuart

Urgency can steal our future.I've watched it happen in nonprofit teams everywhere.We race from grant deadlines to events to year-end goals, doing everything possible to meet today's needs.But somewhere along the way, the relationship-building work that creates tomorrow's major gifts gets pushed aside.In my conversation with Mark Stuart, President and CEO of San Diego Foundation, I was reminded that fundraising is not just a development department responsibility.It is a team sport.

Revelation 12:10-11

The Christ Church Cathedral rebuild could be the last milestone for the Garden City to thrive. Work will begin next year to complete the nave, entrance way, tower, and restore the rose window by 2030. This halves the funding to about $40 million, with the Anglican Church pledging another $20 million. Reinstatement Director Mark Stewart told Mike Hosking they've been working on this for years and have a robust plan. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's another offseason edition of Oilersnation Everyday, and we've got some major organizational news to dive into. The Edmonton Oilers are shaking up their coaching staff ahead of next season, hiring a new assistant coach, goaltending coach, and skills coach, while also extending assistant Mark Stuart and video coach Noah Segall. That marks the end of Paul Coffey's time behind the bench, although he will remain with the organization in a different role. It also officially brings Dustin Schwartz's goaltending coaching tenure in Edmonton to a close.What kind of impact will this revamped coaching staff have on the Oilers heading into the 2025 campaign? Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin break down all the changes and what they could mean moving forward. Plus, we've got updates on the Connor McDavid extension situation. Reports suggest a deal could be coming as McDavid is said to be pleased with the Oilers' offseason direction.We'll also be joined by Jeff Marek, host of The Sheet, to get his thoughts on the new coaching hires, what he's hearing around the league, and why the Oilers weren't involved in any potential Arturs Silovs trade talks with Vancouver.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Sean Barrette is an author who has since written a book "Heartstrings - First Guitars" Heartstrings – First Guitars, is a collection of memories from a variety of musicians, famous, semi-famous, up and coming, anonymous, or otherwise, about the guitar they learned on, the first guitar they bought with their own money, the first “good” guitar they owned, or the beloved first-line guitar that accompanied them on first songs, first shows, first tours, or first recordings. These short, narrative pieces, tied together with first-time author Sean Barrette's memories of a life and career spent immersed in music, tell a story that demonstrates that, no matter the guitar player, they all have this first guitar story and love to tell it.

Flan, Ali and Spida talked to acting assistant commissioner Mark Stuart from Queensland Fire and Emergency Services this morning on preparing for Storm season on the Gold Coast. With the several weather events we've had already this year it's very fresh in our mind of how bad the Gold Coast can be hit. Mark tells everyone to make sure an emergency kit is always up to date which includes medication, batteries, and water. Spida still can't believe that people still attempt to go through flooded water when “if it's flooded, forget it” has been running for several years and it's marketed as much as possible. Mark says that not only do they put themselves at risk but also emergency services. The biggest thing you can do to to prep for a storm is; making sure trees are trimmed, clear your gutters out, clean your ground drains as well so the water can get in and out as fast as possible.

In this incredibly fun, thought provoking and visionary episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in studio by Mark Stuart, the President & CEO of one of the most important community organizations - the San Diego Foundation. Mark, the son of preachers and teachers, shares his journey to San Diego and enlightens all with the story of how his opportunity to "pet a panda" brought him to the San Diego Zoo from Philadephia, and ultimately to the San Diego Foundation! We also learn that Mark feels he is doing the same job he's been doing since his Freshman year in college when he joined the phone-a-thon fundraising team. And that job is noble, purposeful, and in his words - "joyful" - in that he gets to raise funding for programs he knows are changing lives. Under his leadership, the San Diego Foundation has a new strategic plan, vision, and mission, all predicated on becoming deeper and better listeners to diverse voices in the community, the voices that are not the usual suspects for grants, but voices who know where real need is overlooked. Mark is a man with a motto of "keep running" and one who lives his life with the hope of achieving a tombstone which reads "he left the world a better place." What else do we learn from this impactful leader? One of the ways he intends on leaving San Diego a better place is through affordable housing. Not with the usual model but with innovative thinking from Europe and beyond - proven models with different angles of attack to solve the problem. The commitment? $100 million fund, $10 million directly from the San Diego Foundation. Here are some other amazing takeaways from the interview with Mark Stuart: - The entire purpose of the San Diego Foundation is building equitable and resilient communities- He thinks deeply about workforce, workforce, workforce- His reading of Kurt Vonnegut's "Piano Player" no doubt informs his thinking about workforce- He wishes he had learned to speak Spanish! - The answers to the Rapid Fire questions! A truly insightful conversation from a phenomenal gap minder. Thank you, Mark Stuart, for your contributions to San Diego and for fighting every single day to build equity, resilience and opportunity to San Diego, and for joining us on The Gap Minders.Enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the show. If you have any questions or want to contact Nancy or Jose, please send an email to podcast@uwsd.org.

Calling APIs to retrieve data can be a difficult and messy process. Our two guests, Mark Stuart and Shruti Kapoor, are both engineers at PayPal who use GraphQL to bring order to their APIs and data.What is GraphQLGraphQL is a query language for your API, but as Shruti says, “A common myth people have about GraphQL is that we're querying the database. But we're not; we're querying the API.” She adds, “GraphQL provides a way to call your API and get the data that you need.” Mark adds his own definition. “GraphQL is a query language that's used to grab data and as a way to tell the backend system to change things, such as mutating operations. It also hides the mess of your APIs by putting almost a facade in front of it.” GraphQL as an orchestration layerShruti says another way they use GraphQL at PayPal is as an orchestration layer. She explains this more in-depth: “Let's say you've got five different rest APIs, and now you want to combine them under GraphQL. So what you want is that your client should only see GraphQL APIs. But behind the scenes, you've got like this dirty table of all these REST APIs, which send you so much data, so you want to clean that up, right? So you put a nice tablecloth on it. That tablecloth is a GraphQL orchestration layer.”How GraphQL combines with ApolloThe Apollo Graph Platform is one of the most popular tools to combine with GraphQL, with additional resources and documentation to help out. Shruti sums up Apollo's uses for us: “They have Apollo Client for consuming GraphQL API on the client-side, and then they have Apollo server for building a GraphQL API on the server-side.” Apollo includes tools for consistent error handling, different hooks, as well as enterprise-level tools. Mark can attest to its usefulness. “At PayPal, we had a lot of duplication, a lot of graphs,” Mark says. “Apollo has some really cool tools to help merge all of that.” Try Apollo and GraphQL to declutter your APIs.Platform.shLearn more about us.Get started with a free trial.Have a question?

This is our first bonus episode of Over the Lege - we're calling the series "Under The Lege" and we're going to do some deep dives into moments of Texas State Legislature Lore that come up during our Over The Lege Podcast episodes. In the second podcast episode of this season with legislative guest Andy Cates on October 29th, we briefly mentioned that there had been a fire in the Lt. Governor's apartment back in the 1980s. So Stephanie Chiarello decided to do some research on the fire and report her findings back to you. Enjoy!The official story can be found at these links:https://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/07/us/around-the-nation-fire-kills-a-guest-in-the-texas-capitol.htmlhttps://www.kut.org/austin/2015-02-04/wayback-wednesday-the-capitol-fire-of-1983https://tspb.texas.gov/prop/tc/tc-history/restoration/index.htmlThe "Only Murders in the Building" version of the story was found at the blog: "Babylon On The Colorado" - Posted on the blog, Texas Mostly, on May 6, 2019Every fifteen minutes of the day a tour begins on the first floor of the Capitol. The guides are mostly fresh-scrubbed college students, young women in identical skirts and white blouses, and the young men in button-down shirts with conservative striped ties. They begin at the south foyer offering visitors a view of the flags carved in the marble floor representing the six countries that have, at one time or another, ruled Texas. It's the original granite-faced big house, completed in 1888, by prison labor and Scottish stonemasons, paid for by a swap of 3,000,000 acres of public land in West Texas – an area twice the size of Delaware – that remains the soul of the state.            From the rotunda, the guide leads the way to the Senate floor. When the Legislature is not in session, tourists oooh and aaah over the paintings of heroes and ask more questions. Except for the velour ropes and portraits of dead white men on the walls the Senate chamber has the feel of a bordello parlour. The tour leaders were previously warned by the Preservation Board, responsible for the Capitol's maintenance, “Do not add material or stories to your tour that are not in your packet. If someone asks you a question that you don't have information on, tell them to stop by our office after the tour and we will try to answer it." Nowadays a little adlibbing is permitted. Invariably it's in the back of the mind of any Texan of a certain age that a fire took place on the Senate side – a very destructive fire in which someone died. The occasional tourist may even know that the fire led to the renovation of the capital and eventually, in a sense, to the creation of the extension. “Wasn't it something about an apartment?” visitors may ask, referring to the origin of the blaze. It was so long ago that details only buzz vaguely in the back of minds, as a sense more than a concrete knowing.            If the visitor asks how the fire started the official story is that a television set shorted out in what was then the Lieutenant Governor's apartment behind the Senate floor. Specifically, it was a Zenith TV although that's not mentioned. The set originally cost $425 and had a “self-extinguishing cabinet,” which isn't mentioned either, yet it spontaneously melted down and almost took the soul of Texas with it.            That's the official story.            It has survived three decades, but in recent years old evidence that was obscured has come to light – and a key witness spoke a few words before dying. Both contradicted the official explanation. The official story of the Capitol fire now appears to be exactly what it is, a complete fabrication told to protect a very powerful political family – a family that has included a governor and lieutenant governor and once defined the Texas establishment the way the Bushes now do.Actually, two people died in the fire. One of the victims of the Capitol fire was a 23-year-old horse trainer from a barn in New Caney, outside Houston, who succumbed to smoke inhalation on February 6, 1983, in a bedroom of the then-Lieutenant Governor Hobbyr's then-apartment, behind the Senate chamber. The other was a Capitol policeman who breathed his last breath after a minor car accident in Guanajuato, down on Mexico's central plateau, a year later.Those are the latest two victims of the Texas myth – or in this case the Texas lie. February 5, 1983: The 68th session of the Legislature had just begun and Lt. Gov William P. Hobby was in town, staying at a duplex he shared with his wife a few blocks from the Capitol, as was the Hobbys' custom. There were two apartments in the Capitol then, dating from the days when the legislative leadership only came to Austin for the legislative session, every two years. The Hobbys preferred to use their state quarters (consisting of four bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, a den, and four baths) as a guesthouse for out-of-town visitors. (The other apartment is on the second floor on the west side and belongs to the Speaker.) Kate Pettus Hobby, a high school senior at St. John's in Houston, and a couple named Waterman, owners of the stable where Miss Hobby was a rider, and Mathew Hansen, her instructor, were all in town that day for the Texas Riding and Hunting Association banquet at the Driskill Hotel where Miss Hobby was to receive an award. She and her party stayed in the Capitol apartment. A dance followed the awards banquet and Kate Hobby and Matt Hansen left at two in the morning, driven the few blocks from the hotel by an older Hobby sibling, Andrew, who did not stay. In the apartment the Watermans, who were in their mid-30s, were already asleep. Kate Hobby poured a glass of juice for herself and a coke for Matt Hansen, she recalled in her official statement, and the two sat eating Fritos on the couch in the den where the fire started. Kate stayed with Matt Hansen a few minutes, she said to investigators the next day, and then went to bed. When last seen alive by Kate Hobby, Matt Hansen – who had been drinking all night – was stretched out on the couch, smoking cigarettes and watching Music TV.Two hours later Kate and the Watermans were awakened by smoke and noise, according to the official account, as glass and wood cracked in the flames. Heat detectors designed to sound an alarm in the security office on the Capitol's first floor summoned police. Officer Joel Quintanilla had been on patrol on the grounds outside and was called in, raced upstairs, and heard Hansen beating on the walls of the apartment but the smoke was too much to penetrate. Quintanilla was burned on his hands, arms, and face, as his lungs filled with soot. The Watermans and Kate Hobby escaped but firemen found the riding instructor dressed only in pants and socks, lying between the twin beds in a guest room. That's the official line. “This particular [television] set, we can prove that it was defective and that it caught fire and damaged the Capitol,” Attorney General Jim Mattox said following a legal settlement under which Zenith agreed to pay $600,000 to the Hansen family, $300,000 to Quintanilla's survivors and $1.3 million to the State of Texas for repairs to the then 95-year-old red granite building.“We got ninety or ninety-five percent of what we wanted,” Mattox told the press.From the beginning, there were doubts about this account of events, related to both the progression of the fire and its cause. First, the timing did not make sense. Capitol security officers clocked the smoke detectors' alarm at 5:25 in the morning and the fire department was alerted at 5:33. Yet every physical indication was that the blaze had begun much earlier with Officer Quintanilla testifying that he had been called in from patrol on a report of smoke at 5 a.m. Acting Chief Brady Pool who led firefighters that morning was the first to hint that something was not right.“Anybody who was in the business, any professional,” he said later in an interview, “could tell that the fire had been burning for a while before we got there. It hadn't just started five minutes before [the alarm] was turned in.” He cited as an example a hot-water heater, normally in position in one of the false ceilings above the den. The first firemen to enter the apartment found the heater on the floor – the whole ceiling had already burned away. Chief Pool first thought the cause was electrical, sparks from a short circuit – the usual house-fire kind of thing—just on a bigger scale. At first the trauma of the fire itself trumped the search for a cause. It was a mind boggling scene that dawn at the north end of Congress Avenue downtown. Mark White, sworn in as governor the month before, walked over from the Mansion and was put to work dragging water hoses. The first firemen to arrive called in a second alarm and a third was turned in almost an hour later. At one point the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, mayor and city manager were all on the scene together with 100 firemen and at the height of the fire Chief Pool informed Governor White that he needed to be prepared to give the order to abandon the building. Almost a century earlier the first Texas Capitol also burned down – no one could believe it was happening again.Eventually, the flames were “knocked down,” as firefighters like to say, before reaching the Senate chamber. In addition to Mathew Hansen who was already dead when he was dragged from the apartment, three Capitol police officers and eight firefighters were also injured.Early that same morning, not long after the first alarm, city fire investigators were already on their way to the scene. As they drove along Festival Beach Road looking north they saw smoke a mile away, rising from the most prominent building in Texas, including the Alamo. The State Fire Marshal's people began arriving too. The city and state investigators had joint jurisdiction – or so they thought. Because of the nature of the damage, the origin of the fire was quickly narrowed down to the den of Governor Hobby's apartment. Malcolm Light, the city's chief arson investigator, focused first on the two likeliest causes. “In this fire, like most where damage is particularly severe,” he wrote in his notes, showing particular literary care in what was likely to be a highly scrutinized investigation, “determination of the exact point of origin is extremely difficult.“Barring any unexpected event in the investigation, there appear to be only two possibilities regarding fire cause. Either a fault or shorting occurred in an electrical conductor in the vicinity of the northwest corner [of the lieutenant governor's den] resulting in the fire, or the fire was initiated by a carelessly discarded cigarette or smoking materials.”In the northwest corner of the den there was a television on a shelf, near bookcases, and an easy chair. “During excavation operations in the room of origin,” Chief Light wrote, “remains of a television were recovered from the northwest quadrant of the room along with remnants of electrical conductors. What appeared to be the operating cord to the television was recovered intact with no evidence of faults or melting.” A piece of unidentified electrical wire was found nearby with blisters indicating a short. A short can cause a fire – but a fire can also cause a short.   Officer Quintanilla was interviewed in Brackenridge Hospital where he was in intensive care. He had joined two other Capitol policemen on the first floor of the east wing that unhappy morning when he came in from patrol, and from his hospital bed Officer Quintanilla told Chief Light, “The three of us ran to the elevator. As soon as we got off the elevator, we looked down and we could see smoke coming from the door leading to the den.” They entered the apartment, and down the hall Quintanilla could hear someone shouting, “Help me, get me out.” Quintanilla moved toward the den where the door was still closed. Seen from another perspective, one of the other officers explained how Joel Quintanilla made a fatal mistake. “Officer Spinks told [Officer Quintanilla] that the fire and smoke were too bad and for him not to open the door; however, at that minute, Quintanilla kicked the door and the door exploded open onto Officer Quintanilla. The hallway was immediately filled with smoke and fire, all the lights went out and we were unable to see anything.”In that half-second peek inside the den, which he would eventually pay for with his life, Joel Quintanilla said he saw fire to the left ("Fire, man," he said specifically, in his formal interview, after being asked what he saw, "and lots of smoke") in the northwest corner near the television, and also straight ahead, to the east, on the sofa.Subsequent examination would determine odd burn patterns on the sofa itself.In a house in North Austin an old man sat two decades later with his wife and reminisced. This former public official held two major positions in his life, both related to the detection and prevention of fire. For the last fifteen years of his professional career Ernest Emerson was Fire Marshal of Texas.On the morning of February 9, three days after the Capitol fire, Marshal Emerson was on a “walk-through” of the ruins of the east end of the building with other state officials, he said, including Attorney General Jim Mattox. The cleanup had already begun and Chief Light and Emerson's investigators were trying to determine a cause. As the tour ended Mattox asked the Fire Marshal to stay for a moment. “I accompanied Mr. Mattox and his group on the tour and remained behind, at Mr. Mattox's request,” Emerson included in his notes written at the time, which can be found in state archives, “for a short discussion concerning the matter of overlapping jurisdiction and the need to coordinate investigative efforts.”“He told me,” Emerson recalled two decades later, at home in his living room, “that he was taking over the investigation of the fire.”Chief Emerson knew Attorney General Mattox from Dallas. Before coming to the capital city a few years earlier, Ernest Emerson had ended a 31-year career in the Big D – rising from firefighter to chief arson investigator to fire marshal, while Mattox was there too as an assistant district attorney, before winning a seat in Congress.Did Marshal Emerson object to General Mattox taking over the investigation? “He was the attorney general,” Emerson said years later at home. He showed discomfort, as investigators do when confronted with interference by powerful interests, but he was outranked. Of what happened later, Emerson added, “I believe he [Mattox] was trying to protect some people.” When Jim Mattox took over the Capitol case he hired an outside consultant to solve it. General Mattox had in effect removed both the city and state fire marshals from the case, yet the attorney general is not in the fire-detection business and needed expertise. Mattox named a private consultant to head the investigation, named Leland Priest, who had preceded Malcolm Light as the City of Austin's fire marshal. While not satisfied with the Attorney General assuming authority for the investigation, Emerson was reassured because he knew Priest on a professional level and knew “he was a good man.” A few days later Ernest Emerson got a call from Priest, who had discouraging news. Although never made public at the time, a “confidential supplemental report” can be found in the State Fire Marshal's records in the William P. Hobby State Office Building, in downtown Austin today, reflecting that the Capitol fire had taken a dangerous turn. The report is one paragraph written by Emerson and dated February 18, twelve days after the big burn: “I met with Leland M. Priest, who had been retained by the Attorney General as a fire cause consultant. He said that he had been dismissed by the Attorney General on Tuesday, February 15th. He said that he had in his possession fire debris samples taken Friday, February 11th, from the den (fire scene) at the Capitol. He said the sample of carpet taken from the northwest corner of the den near the TV was hot.”“Hot,” Emerson explained in his home during the later interview, “is what investigators say for evidence pointing to the cause of a fire.” Without referring to his notes, the 80-year-old former State Fire Marshal Emerson recalled certain details of what was found among the ashes of the East Wing. The Attorney General had fired Priest, a strategic decision, but doing so he made a tactical error – General Mattox had not recovered the evidence that Leland Priest collected in the Capitol apartment. Specifically, Priest had discovered suspicious burn patterns in the carpet of the room. “Priest called me and said Mattox had let him go. He said Mattox wanted the cause of the fire to be one thing and not another,” Emerson recalled twenty years after the fact.“Priest said he trusted me and he would only turn over the evidence to me, and only with a subpoena. I drew up a subpoena and went to see him.”Without telling anyone – and even though he had been taken off the investigation – Ernest Emerson collected the evidence and assigned one of his men to drive to the Metroplex, to the private Armstrong Forensic Laboratory outside Dallas.“The purpose of this trip was to deliver and submit five (5) fire debris samples for complete laboratory testing and analysis,” Emerson's man, who made the trip north, wrote in his own “confidential supplemental report,” dated Feb. 22, 1983. “These five debris samples were those recovered from the fire scene by Leland M. Priest, Fire Cause Consultant. …”“It was requested of Dr. Armstrong that all testing and analysis of the debris samples be aimed at determining any presence of flammable hydrocarbon or other substances in the samples, and, if possible, to identify such substances.” The firemen had already guessed what they were looking for. Among the ruins of the den were unidentified fragments of green glass, as well as a small silvery instrument, melted beyond recognition. Three years earlier comedian Richard Pryor had put “freebasing” in the dictionary after he burned himself while preparing a potent form of cocaine for smoking. Today's fashion is crack but at that time freebasing – essentially home-cooking your own crack – was the thang to do.To freebase requires “washing” cocaine in a strong solvent, a hydrocarbon like ether, to remove impurities and prepare the drug which is then placed in a pipe. Freebased coke is almost instantaneously absorbed by the lungs. The narcotic effect is fast, ecstatic and short-lived. The preparation, mixing hydrocarbons with fire, is also very dangerous as Pryor discovered to his horror and, later, bitter humor.The suspicion among the firemen was that someone had learned the same lesson in the Lite Governor's apartment.While he waited for the results of the lab tests, Marshal Emerson kept busy. His official duty assigned by General Mattox was to investigate any possibility that the building had been intentionally torched which no one believed from the beginning but which was presumably intended to keep the fire marshal's people occupied. In practice it meant talking to a lot of crazies.Emerson said that, surreptitiously, “I still had people looking at things.”One avenue of inquiry was to see if the party at the Driskill Hotel, a few blocks down Congress Avenue, had carried over into the Capitol. To find out if the awards banquet spread beyond the ballroom, one of Emerson's men spent a week trying to track down a musician named Mark Stuart, leader of Dash Rip Rock and the Dragons, the band that had played Top 40 for the equestrian crowd at the Driskill that night.Emerson's agent finally contacted Mr. Stuart by phone at his home in the Big D. The results were disappointing – slightly comical – but remain part of the record in the fire marshal's “report.” “Mr. Stuart stated that he had talked further with all members of his band about remarks they may have heard at the dance on this particular night, and none of them remembered any comments or remarks about anyone going to another party or a meeting of any kind at any other location. He stated that after a period of time playing in a band, most musicians don't pay much attention to talk or actions in the attending crowd unless something out of the ordinary occurs.” Emerson's investigator had just been introduced to after-hours life in the Live Music Capital of the World. Dash Rip Rock and the Dragons were crossed off the list.In the meantime, the results had come back from the lab.Leland Priest was right.The carpeting from the den was hot.The fourth sample, debris taken in front of the bookcase where the TV was located, “had a strong odor of aromatic components,” the chemist Dr. Armstrong reported. To chemists, aromatic does not mean a good smell like perfume – instead, that the source is petroleum-based and volatile, meaning it catches fire. Further testing identified the remains in the carpet as a methyl-ether compound with “strong solvent capabilities.” Because solvents necessary for freebasing can be created from household products, Emerson'soffice quietly contacted the Capitol Police, to determine if any supplies of the same ingredients might have been stored in the apartment den. The answer, recorded in another “confidential supplemental report” was that “No materials of this kind were kept or stored in the den at any time.”Marshal Emerson said he talked with Armstrong by phone, to confirm his findings.“It was our belief that,” the former State Fire Marshal said, those years later, of events leading to Texas' big burn, “they were freebasing.” By “they” Emerson said he means a person or persons unknown, but presumably Matt Hansen and perhaps someone else as well. The lab report was ordered sent to Attorney General Mattox. When it became clear what Emerson had done – ordering tests without permission of the AG – Emerson said that he incurred the displeasure of certain high-ranking state officials. As to why no cocaine was found if drugs were being cooked, former Fire Marshal Emerson suggested a possibility: “That room was pretty well burned-up.” Any cocaine could have been destroyed, just as the presumed pipe. Attorney General Mattox, meanwhile, as part of his investigation, had decided to consult that National Aeronautics and Space Administration on the origins of the fire – for reasons that to this day remain unclear. NASA has wonderful scientists but they aren't known for their fire forensics work. It looked good, however, NASA, oh wow. In the end the state of Texas sued Zenith Radio Corporation and Mattox said he had found evidence of other fires in similar products. Mattox's trump card was that the State of Texas was prepared to introduce the testimony of Governor Hobby's servant, responsible for care of the apartment, who would testify that on a previous occasion the TV had blacked out and made a “popping” noise. During the civil suit, which never went to trial, Zenith' lawyers (Fulbright & Jaworski) tried to get their hands on Emerson's notes, a collection which came to be known popularly as “the State Fire Marshal's Report.” Although the report is really a series of memoranda written by Marshal Emerson and his men for their files, in the days following the Capitol fire, as the search for a cause developed into intrigue. Once a much sought-after document, not made public before now, these famous slips of paper can actually be viewed in state archives, in the Hobby Building.Tipped to the fire marshal's covert activities Zenith's lawyers asked for Emerson's papers at the time. The request was refused by the state's lawyer, Jim Mattox. The appeals court refused to force the document's release. Zenith's lawyers said privately that even had they won in court, the case would be a public relations nightmare for the company. A frustrated lawyer for Fulbright & Jaworski asked privately, after the settlement was reached, “One question you need to look at is, did the television set the fire, or did it burn up in the fire?”A year later Officer Quintanilla remained on complete disability. He was seeing the old homestead in Mexico when he was involved in a minor traffic accident in Guanajuato. While hospitalized his lungs failed. He received a posthumous Carnegie Medal in recognition of his heroism that morning. Leland Priest, who broke the case, died in a freak accident a few years later.Ernest Emerson died a year after he gave his final interview and was the last real witness – not to the fire but to the intrigue. Emerson spent 12 years of his later life on the national board that sets fire-code standards, he said that the men who maintained the integrity of the investigation are not the heroes of this fire or of any blaze – but the firefighters themselves who, on the morning of February 6, 1983, knocked down the flames before they reached the Texas Senate chamber. It would be dramatic to say that the Capitol fire haunted Chief Emerson through the decades until he spoke out but that's simply not true. The fire that haunted him took place almost thirty years earlier – at the Golden Pheasant restaurant in Dallas. It was seven alarms and the legend is that every firefighter in Dallas worked that night. Four of them died. At least, Chief Emerson said, he got the Capitol blaze down on paper and out of his head. All those false ceilings and dead spaces created through a century of makeshift engineering and quick fixes—after the Scottish masons and prison laborers finished work—were removed. The entire Capitol is now fitted with a sprinkler system. Looking back what was most intriguing about the Capitol fire is that the official story was almost contradicted from the very beginning. When Joel Quintanilla first opened his eyes after kicking in the door of the den, he was in the lobby-floor Capitol security office having been carried down by his comrades, and the first person he saw was Kate Hobby seated across from him with a policeman's raincoat over her shoulders. What really happened in the apartment might have been discovered then and there if investigators were able to sit down with her, another official lamented long after the fact. Miss Hobby was allowed to leave and gave a brief statement hours later at her father's townhouse, a few blocks away, signing her name the girlish Katie, which she's still called by some today. She would later testify in a deposition, “There were no drugs or anything in my presence at any time.” Kate Hobby now leads a presumably quiet life doing good deeds in Houston, married to a man who was a pallbearer at the funeral of her grandmother Oveta, the first secretary of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. “It is a complete fabrication,” she said once of any idea that drug use led to the fire. And, as her patrician backbone stiffened, “You will hear from my lawyer.” She didn't reveal if she still rides. Only days after the embers had cooled people were already whispering that something wasn't right about the story that the state Democratic Party was trying to feed the public. Some of the rumors could be attributed to Richard Pryor's sensationally unhappy experience – the sort of innuendo you might have heard after any suspicious blaze at the time. But in the case of this tragedy, some of the rumbling could be traced to investigators themselves who thought the fix was in. Even the initial excavation of the fire scene had suggested that someone was not telling the truth. The apartment's “panic button” installed to enable the lieutenant governor to alert security in case of an emergency was found in the on position. Someone had tried to summon help. The switch was known to be properly functioning because it had, by coincidence, been inspected the night before the fire. The Capitol Police officer who checked wrote in his log that the apartment was strewn with beer cans.In your mind's eye, you can almost see Kate Hobby, young, horsey, rich, with a powerful father and a place to crash in Austin for an early Spring Break. Kate like her matriarch grandmother – the owner of the Houston Post, Oveta – and the Hobby men, mostly named William or Bill, who mostly went into politics, were part of a family that meant a great deal in this state. The Hobbys have rendered considerable service to Texas—although they've also tended to run a little wild, especially in their last generations in power. It's unlikely that the Watermans or Matt Hansen, first-time visitors to the apartment, would have known of the panic button's existence. The Watermans were described by rescuers as half-asleep and dazed when pulled from their rooms. Kate Hobby would have known, though. She said she was in her bedroom the whole time and was only awakened by the arrival of Capitol police. She came out the door into their arms. That's what she's always said. That's part of the official story too.A few hours after the last flames were extinguished, a search began of the bedroom where Mathew Hansen's body was found. “This investigator noted that a leather jacket was located on the foot of the west twin bed,” an investigator from the Fire Marshal's office wrote in his report that morning as he surveyed the ash and ruin. “This leather jacket appeared to be the size of one that belonged to a male subject. A maroon and white athletic type jacket was found on the middle portion of the east twin bed. This was a small jacket which appeared to possibly be one belonging to a female.“Several other articles of clothing were found on the floor next to the victim and upon the east twin bed. All of this clothing appeared to be of male design with the exception of one shirt. This light blue and white shirt actually appeared to be a blouse.” A search of the bathroom found a toothbrush, a Lady Shick razor, and a tube of muscle ointment. The ashtray on the vanity between the beds contained two cigarette butts of different brands.The victim's travel bag held “a small ‘shot glass' type container containing a clear liquid. The container was clear in color with the opening covered by ‘masking' tape.'” Attorney General Mattox's office would later describe the contents of the shot glass as horse liniment. Burn patterns on the bedroom door indicated the door had been closed after the fire began. That meant Hansen was probably not in the bedroom at the time the blaze started and may have taken refuge there. “This investigator noted a very unusual circumstance within the bedroom,” the officer recorded that morning in the bedroom. “Neither of the twin beds had been slept in. All of the linens and bedspreads were still in a ‘made-up' position.“Additionally, the general appearance of the bedspreads indicated that neither bed had been laid upon prior to the fire. Considering the time frame involved, this investigator considered this circumstance very unusual.”             It was.
