SO IT'S AN HONOR TO SPEAK ON HIS
BEHALF TODAY.
THANK YOU.
THINGS COOLEY.
DOCTOR WEBER.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU AND MISTER SPEAKER AN
MEMBERS I TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
A AS YOU'RE IN MEMORY OF MISTER
ARBOR STONE --
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS WE HAVE
WE MEMORIALIZE MISTER STONE
BECAUSE OF HIS TREMENDOUS
CONTRIBUTION TO THE BLACK
COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA --
YOU READ HIS RESUME AND YOU READ
A LOT ABOUT HIS MILITARY SERVICE
IN A SERVICE TO COMMUNITY.
BUT HE WAS A SELFLESS AND
TIRELESS OF FIGHTER FOR EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY AND JUSTICE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WELL AS SOON AS I BECAME A
MEMBER OF THIS HOUSE OF THE
FIRST PERSON ONE OF FIRST
PERSONS I'VE MET WAS OBVIOUS
STONE.
I HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS BUT HE
MADE SURE THAT EVERY MEMBER OF
THE BLACK CAUCUS KNEW WHO HE WAS.
AND UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF
HIS MISSION WHICH WAS TO
BASICALLY PROMOTE BLACK
BUSINESSES AND BLACK ENTERPRISE
IN THE ENGAGEMENT OF
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY IN THE
BLACK COMMUNITY.
AND SO I WAS HONORED TO KNOW HIM
AND TO SEE A PERSON WHO REALLY
WAS VERY PASSIONATE.
AND CONCERN IN A VERY SELFLESS
WAY AUBREY STONE NEVER PROMOTING
SOME BUSINESS THAT HE OWNS BUT
REALLY PROMOTING THE INCLUSION
OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE
BUSINESS LIFE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND HE DID IT EVERYWHERE IN
CALIFORNIA HE DID IT DID NOT
ONLY IN SACRAMENTO BUT IN SANDY
A GO HE DID IT THE WAY PACKED HE
DID IT TO VARIOUS KINDS OF
THINGS.
AND SUPPORT OF VARIOUS PIECES OF
LEGISLATION HE WAS ALWAYS THERE
IS A VOICE HIS CONFERENCES OF
THROUGHOUT THE STATE WILL WELL
ATTENDED.
AND SO HE KEPT THE CONCEPT OF
BLACK BUSINESSES ON THE MINDS OF
LEGISLATORS.
EVERYWHERE IN CALIFORNIA AND WE
WERE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
IT'S QUICK TO YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S
DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE
CALIFORNIA'S BLACK BUSINESS
VOICE WITHOUT ARBOR STONE.
BECAUSE THERE WERE VERY FEW
PEOPLE WHO CARRY THAT MESSAGE.
CONSISTENTLY AS HE DID WITHOUT
AN INTEREST IN HIS OWN PERSONAL
PROMOTION BUT REALLY IN A
PROMOTION OF BLACK BUSINESSES
ITSELF.
HE WAS A LEADER IN OUR CHAMBER
MOVEMENT HE ESTABLISHED THE
BLACK CHAMBER BUT HE WAS A
LEADER IN THAT WITH ALL OF THE
OTHER ENTITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE NEVER TRYING TO TAKE OVER
ANY PARTICULAR.
INDIVIDUAL CHAMBER WHERE THERE
WAS A SAN DIEGO BLACK CHAMBER OR
SOMEONE ELSE BUT REALLY TRYING
TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE CHAMBERS
HAVE THE SUPPORT.
OF A STATEWIDE NETWORK THAT
WOULD HELP THEM TO GROW AND TO
DEVELOP.
AND SO WE'VE MISSED ARBOR STONE
AND HE WAS SO IMPORTANCE
INTERESTING OF HIS CONTACT.
AND HIS PRESENCE IN THE
SACRAMENTO COMMUNITY IN THE
STATE COMMUNITY WAS SO IMPORTANT
HIM AND ALL OF THE OTHER
LEGISLATIVE INDIVIDUALS KNEW HIM
AND ALL THE AGENCIES KNEW HIM.
IT WAS KIND OF HILARIOUS IN THE
END BECAUSE THEY'VE WE PUT OUT
THE LYING IN STE A DAY HERE IN
THE CASH BECAUSE HE WAS FULL IN
JUST THAT.
OF IMPORTANT IN THE BLACK
COMMUNITY OF COURSE WE HAD TO
LEARN VERY QUICKLY THEY DID
LEARN VERY QUICKLY THAT WE DON'T
HAVE BODIES LINE STATE WE'VE
ONLY HAD TWO OR THREE IN THE
HISTORY OF THE CAPITAL AND SO
FORTH AND SO ON AND YOU HAVE TO
BE A FORMER.
ELECTED OFFICIAL WHATEVER
WHATEVER BUT THEY JUST TO ME IT
WAS KIND OF A LAYER IS BECAUSE
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
BUT IT WAS ALSO AN EMPTY IN A
STATEMENT TO ME THAT THIS MAN
WAS THAT IMPORTANT TO THE
SACRAMENTO COMMUNITY.
THAT WHEN HE DIED THEY WANTED
THE WHOLE WORLD TO RECOGNIZE HIM
TO SAY LOOK HE SAW IMPORTANT HE
IS IN THE STATE CAPITAL LYING IN
STATE AND SO WE HAD TO MAKE SURE
WE GET THE MESSAGE OUT SO THAT
WE WOULDN'T HAVE.
THRONGS OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE
CAPITAL LOOKING FARBER STONE BUT
IT REALLY IS IT IN MY MIND WAS A
STRONG TESTAMENT OF JUST HOW
POWERFUL HE WAS IN TERMS OF HIS
QUIET PRESENCE IN THE IN THE
FIELD OF BUSINESS.
AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISE WE THANK
HIS FAMILY FOR SHARING THEM WITH
US BECAUSE HE GAVE A LOT OF HIS
LIFE LOT OF HIS TIME AND A LOT
OF HIS RESOURCES.
AND PROMOTING BLACK BUSINESSES
AND SO I REQUEST THAT WE JOIN IN
MEMORY OF A STOPPER STONE.

DRY CONDITIONS ENORMOUS AMOUNTS
OF UNDERGROWTH AND FUEL.
AN ABNORMALLY HIGH WINDS.
PLAYED A ROLE.
SADLY NEARLY ALL THESE FIRES
HAVE ANOTHER THING IN COMMON
THEY OCCURRED IN OR NEAR
EXTREMELY VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
RESIDENTS HAD LITTLE TIME TO
REACT AND HAD FEW ESCAPE ROUTES.
THE FIRE RESULTED IN FATALITIES
GREAT PROPERTY LOSS.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
AND OF COURSE THE WILL THE FAR
WE NOW KNOW WAS NO DIFFERENT
WITHIN TWENTY MINUTES OF THE
REPORTED FIRE.
THE SANTA ANA WINDS THAT IT
REACHED FIFTY TO SIXTY MILES PER
HOUR HAD CAUSED THE FIRE TO
SPREAD SO RAPIDLY AND
PREDICTABLY.
THAT IT WAS BE FIREFIGHTING
CAPABILITIES WITHIN TWO DAYS OF
IGNITING THE FIRE HAD ENGULFED
MORE THAN SEVENTY THOUSAND ACRES
AND FORCED THE EVACUATION OF TWO
HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND
PEOPLE.
FROM THE CITIES OF MALIBU IN
AGORA HILLS AND COMMUNITIES LIKE
BELL CANYON MALIBU LAKE AND OAK
PARK.
WHEN THE FIRE WAS FINALLY
CONTAINED AT SIX ELEVEN PM ON
NOVEMBER TWENTY FIRST NEARLY
NINETY SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES HAVE
BURNED ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED
AND FORTY THREE BUILDINGS WERE
DESTROYED?
AND HUNDREDS OF HOMES WERE GONE
THREE FIREFIGHTERS AND TWO
CIVILIANS WERE INJURED AND THREE
CIVILIANS WERE KILLED.
WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE THREE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE
FIRST RESPONDERS WHO PROTECTED
US AND THE MANY OTHERS WHO STEP
FORWARD DURING AND IN THE
AFTERMATH.
AND EVEN TODAY AS MUD COURSES.
THROUGH THE BURN AREAS WITH --
THE CURRENT RAINSTORMS.
BUT JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER
COMMUNITIES THE FIRE WILL LEAVE
A LIFELONG SCAR ON THE THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE.
WHO LOST A PART OF THEIR LIVES
AND OTHERS LOST A PART OF THEIR
COMMUNITY?
