Hongisto Richard
Richard Hongisto was a businessman, politician, sheriff, and police chief of San Francisco CA and Cleveland OH. He earned a reputation for activism, fighting discrimination within the police force and against police brutality. He was a co-founder of Officers for Justice, an organization of officers who were primarily racial minorities or gay. He was elected SF sheriff in 1971, shocking the political establishment as the incumbent, Matthew Carberry, had been a four-term sheriff and had been considered a shoo-in. Hongisto was the first sheriff to hire gay and lesbian deputies. After serving as sheriff in SF, Hongisto briefly moved to Cleveland in 1977, where he served as police chief, but eventually was fired by the mayor on live local TV. The Governor of New York then invited Hongisto to manage that state's prison system, but Hongisto returned to SF to run for Supervisor in 1980, and later ran for Assessor. In 1991, he ran for mayor but came in fourth in a race won by police chief Frank Jordan, who appointed Hongisto as SF's police chief in 1992. Hongisto's tenure as police chief lasted only six weeks, due to his handling of rioters and demonstrators in the wake of the Rodney King police brutality trial in Los Angeles. Hongisto left public life to become a businessman and real estate investor, apart from an unsuccessful run for County Supervisor in 2000.
Kantner Paul
Paul Kantner was an American rock musician, best-known as the co-founder, rhythm guitarist, and occasional vocalist of Jefferson Airplane. Jefferson Airplane formed in 1965 when Kantner met Marty Balin. Kantner eventually became the leader of the group and led it through its highly successful late-1960s period, until 1973. Kantner revived the Jefferson Starship name in 1974 and continued to record and perform with them through 1984 and reformed Jefferson Starship from 1992 until his death. He had a cerebral hemorrhage in 1980 likely due to a residual hole in his skull from a motorcycle accident in the 1960s, but recovered without surgery. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll HoF in 1996.
