JOSEPH ROY HARTT
1932-1997
Joseph Hartt was born in San Francisco, CA on June 27th, 1932, the youngest of seven children born to David Roy Hartt and Jenny Lind Roach. While growing up in California and Canada, Joseph developed a strong love of flying. In January, 1959, he joined the US Navy Flight School. During his nine years of experience as a pilot with Air Groups 12, 19, and 4, Mr. Hartt accumulated thousands of hours of jet aircraft flight time and hundreds of day and night carrier landings. He was the first qualified Naval Aviator to actually fly and evaluate the early prototype systems. Various of his suggestions and design inputs have been incorporated into the current mature systems.
Subsequent to his service with the Navy, Mr. Hartt joined the IBM Corporation, Data Processing contractor to NASA at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas. From 1967 to 1973, he performed a range of tasks in support of the Gemini, Apollo, and early SkyLab programs. These included technical and programming requirements definition, systems integration, computer simulations, and mission support. He was Manager, Mission Support, and directly responsible for all computer processing functions within the Real Time Computer Complex (RTCC) of the Mission Operations Control Center during all the Apollo missions with the exception of Apollo 17. IBM and NASA arranged for him to travel to the Cape to observe the lift-off of his long-time friend and fellow Navy pilot, Captain Gene Cernan, commander of the final mission to the moon.
Early in his career Mr. Hartt initiated a program of personal investing. In 1973, he was able to retire from active employment and moved his family to Denver where he continued his personal investment activity. In 1978, he founded Western States Research, Inc., a small R&D company through which he pursued new technology primarily in the fields of aviation and medicine. He holds or shares a number of patents in both fields. NASA is currently evaluating one of his invention concepts at Ames Research Facility in Sunnyvale.
In 1990, Mr. Hartt and Dr. Alan Vetter of HMRL were asked to evaluate the concept of using GPS precision positioning technology to guide aerial application aircraft. After exploring theoretical alternatives and laying out a feasible design, Mr. Hartt and Dr. Vetter founded a new company, SATLOC, Inc. to undertake product development. By mid-1991, they had demonstrated a working prototype which proved beyond any doubt that their theoretical evaluation of GPS capability was correct.
Mr. Hartt devoted himself to the growth and development of the new company. During his tenure as President and CEO, and currently as Vice Chairman, SATLOC has grown from its original 2 consultants to now number 74 employees. Its revenues will exceed $16 million in 1995. More than 800 AirStar GPS Precision Guidance and Tracking units have been sold and installed across the United States, in Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and before the end of this year, Argentina, South Africa and possibly Europe.
Mr. Hartt's wife Brita Elizabeth, is a native of Norway, and came to America as a new bride in 1960. Their oldest son, Steve, is married, with a daughter Chloe and a son Simon. Steve is a Vice President with CitiCorp in Manhattan. Their youngest son, Jeff, is a scientist with Harris, is married with no children, and lives in Colorado Springs.
Joseph Hartt died at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona on November 17th, 1997 after a 9-month battle with kidney cancer.

Deceased Name: Winnie R. Judd, 93, Infamous As 1930's 'Trunk Murderess'Winnie Ruth Judd, who spent three decades in an Arizona state mental hospital as the notorious "trunk murderess" in one of the most sensational criminal cases of the 1930's, died in Phoenix on Friday. She was 93. With the Great Depression at full strength in the fall of 1931 and newspapers vying for stories to take their readers' minds off their miseries, the lurid details of the Judd case proved irresistible. But the case also provoked a debate over capital punishment. Mrs. Judd, then a 26-year-old secretary at a Phoenix medical clinic and the wife of a doctor, arrived at Union Station in Los Angeles on Oct. 18, 1931, on a train from Phoenix, accompanied by two trunks and several valises. When a baggage man noticed what appeared to be blood dripping from one trunk, he asked her to open it. Mrs. Judd said she did not have the key and left in an automobile driven by her brother, Burton McKinnell. The police were called and traced the car from the license plate. Inside the larger trunk, detectives found the body of Agnes Anne LeRoi, 32. What they found in the smaller trunk catapulted the case into headline news around the country. It contained remains of Hedvig Samuelson, 24, her body neatly cut into three pieces to make it easier to pack. A few days later, a valise left behind by Mrs. Judd was found to contain a fourth body section. The two women had been fatally shot the previous Friday night at a Phoenix residence they had previously shared with Mrs. Judd when her husband was out of town. Four days after the bodies were discovered, Mrs. Judd was arrested in Los Angeles. She quickly became an object of curiosity. When she was returned to Phoenix for trial, thousands lined the streets for a glimpse, and the owner of the home where the murders occurred sold 10-cent tickets for tours. Mrs. Judd maintained that she shot the women in self-defense when they attacked her during an argument, but prosecutors said that she entered the residence while the two slept, then shot them in the head out of jealousy over attentions paid to them by her married boyfriend. Two years later, by then dubbed the "trunk murderess" and the "tiger woman" in headlines, Mrs. Judd was convicted of murdering Miss LeRoi and was sentenced to hang. Mrs. Judd was not tried for the murder of Miss Samuelson, so the question of who dismembered her body was never formally raised. There was later speculation that a local physician other than husband had performed the expert cutting. Pressure was brought to spare Mrs. Judd's life in view of her claims of self-defense and her lawyer's assertions that she was mentally ill. Thirty state legislators and a group of 34 ministers and priests signed petitions, and Arizona authorities received several thousand letters on her behalf. Eleanor Roosevelt was among those expressing concern. Several days before the hanging was to take place, a jury impaneled for a sanity hearing found that Mrs. Judd was then insane, and she was institutionalized. She escaped six times from the Arizona State Hospital for the Insane in Phoenix over the next two decades, maintaining later that a nurse had given her a key to the entrance that she hid in a coin holder and used in some escapes. She was taken back into custody within a short time on each occasion and otherwise proved a model patient, cooking for other patients and helping bathe them. On Oct. 8, 1962, Mrs. Judd escaped yet again, this time disappearing for almost seven years. She was finally found in the San Francisco area, where, calling herself Marian Lane, she had worked as a housekeeper in a mansion owned by an elderly woman. The noted defense lawyer Melvin Belli took her case and fought unsuccessfully against extradition to Arizona. Mrs. Judd was judged to be sane by medical examiners in Arizona, was transferred to the state penitentiary in Florence and was freed shortly before Christmas 1971. She returned to California to work for the family that had previously employed her, later lived in Stockton and then went back to Phoenix a few years before her death. Sixty-seven years after the murders, the crime lives on. An Internet "sightseeing tour" of Phoenix has a photo of the site where the murders occurred (it is now a vacant lot between two homes) and advises that an apartment building where Mrs. Judd once lived is the site of a medical center. A longtime friend, Kenneth Cain of Sun City, Ariz., said yesterday that Mrs. Judd had no immediate survivors. In a letter she wrote in 1952, Mrs. Judd, an Indiana native and the daughter of a minister, called the dismemberment "a ghastly deed" but again maintained that she shot the two women in self-defense. She said that she transported the bodies because she was suffering from shock, but wrote, 'I've asked God many times to forgive me."

WELL KNOWN PIONEER GOES TO HIS REWARD
In the death Hezekiah Simpkins, which occurred at his home at Lehi on Christmas night, the citizens of the communities of Mesa and Lehi lost one of the best loved and most highly respected residents of the valley. Mr. Simpkins was a pioneer in Arizona, having removed to Lehi in 1882. He was born in England and was 81 years of age. His death was the peaceful passing away of old age, for he sunk to sleep as calmly as an infant on its mother's breast. He left a widow, two sons, Chas. W. and R. Wiley Simpkins, a daughter, Mrs. Vet Nelson, and another daughter who lives in Idaho.
The aged pioneer was among the early frontier men of the west. He was of the original battalion of Mormons who crossed the mountains in 1846 and was one of the early discoverers of gold in California. He drove a stage on opposite shifts with Buffalo Bill between the Missouri river and Denver. The funeral service will be held at the Lehi church at 10:30 today. Meanwhile the hundreds who knew and loved him, mourn the removal of a loving husband, kind father, and honored citizen.

Pioneer Dead Col. Chas. D. Poston Passed Away at Phoenix on Tuesday Last Died Alone and in Squalid CircumstancesPHOENIX, Ariz. June 26,—Colonel Charles Debhille Poston, this Territory's first delegate to Congress, and known as the "father of Arizona." died alone in his rooms amid dirt and filth- He must have died at about noon Tuesday but his body was not discovered until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It was found by Samuel Steele, colored, who lives in another part of the same house in which Colonel Poston lived. Steele Immediately notified the police.Colonel Poston was born In Hardin county, Kentucky, April 20, 1825, so that he was over 77 years old. His mother died when he was 12 years old. At about this age he was apprenticed in the county clerk's office In Hardin county, where he stayed seven years. He was then,connected with the office of the supreme court of Tennessee at Nashville, at the end of which time he was admitted to practice at the bar.Upon the acquisition of California by the United States in 1847, full of vigor and desire for adventure, he decided to seek a home In the golden west, and so joined the Argonauts.He was given a first-class appointment In the custom house at San Francisco, which position he filled for a number of years.Later he started with a party of about thirty men to explore Arizona, which had just been ceded to the United States, arriving at Guaymas in 1854. A pretty thorough exploration of Arizona was made, and samples of its mineral wealth collected, after which the party returned to California, and then returned to New York by way of the Isthmus of Panama. While in the east he spent some time at Washington and visited his old home In Kentucky. This was in 1855.In 1856 he returned to Arizona with a company for opening up and developing Arizona's mineral wealth, which he realized must be enormous. He continued as manage/ of this company until 1858, when he was relieved by General Heintzelman, who was president of the company. When the civil war broke out Colonel Poston was in charge of the company's operations in Arizona. When the United States troops were withdrawn the country was left unprotected, and on an uprising of Indians and Mexicans he was forced to leave Arizona. For a time after this he served as an aide to General Heintzelman, and was. appointed as superintendent of Indian affairs for Arizona by President Lincoln. When civil government was organized in Arizona he was elected the first Delegate to Congress.Upon the expiration of his term of office he went to Europe on an extended tour, and visited the Paris exposition of 1867. On his return to America he wrote a book on his travels entitled "Europe in the Summer Time" He entered into the practice of law with Judge Botts of California.He had always expressed a desire to see, Asia so he secured an honorary commission from Mr. Seward to go to Asia in the Interest of immigration and irrigation and left in company with Rosa Browne, minister to China. He was subsequently appointed registrar of the land office in Arizona, He also served as consular and military agent at Nogales. He was for a number of years engaged in Washington in promoting national irrigation schemes, and in recent years has been agent in Phoenix of the Department of Agriculture.Colonel Poston was a close observer and a vigorous writer being connected at various times with prominent eastern papers. He was famous as an after dinner speaker, and was always in demand at banquets on this account. He was full of anecdotes of the past. and could tell charming stories of the countries he had traveled through, and of the early days in Arizona,Of late years he has been on the rapid decline, drink being mainly responsible for his downfall, He received a quarterly pension of $50 from the United States government and per month from Arizona, so that he need not have been, in abject circumstances, The past two years he had occupied the rooms in which he died. They are full of dirt, old newspapers and articles of wearing apparel. Always a great reader, he was in the habit of visiting the newspaper offices in town, where he was always welcome to all the exchanges and papers that he wanted. These he had piled in promiscuous heaps In his room.His body was found in the door way leading from one room to the other. He was lying on his face, his arms doubled beneath him in such a manner as to Indicate he had made no effort to catch himself as he fell, so that he must have simply dropped dead* He must have suffered great agony for some time before his death. He had torn a pillow open and scattered the feathers over everything, and had evidently passed back and forth from room to room several times, as the feathers were scattered In both rooms, and some were in an olla containing drinking water indicating that he had been out to it since tearing open the pillow.Date: 1902-06-26; Paper: Tucson Daily Citizen

Another Wreck Twelve Killed And A Score Injured Passenger Dashes Into Freight
The Engines Come Together and Jam Into Each Other Up to the Cylinders – The Passenger Was Running at the Rate of Forty-Five Miles an Hour and a Side Track Switch Was Left Open
Kingsbury, Ind., Sept. 23 – A passenger train crashed into a freight train at this place at 5:45 yesterday morning and at least twelve people were killed and a score or more injured, some seriously.
The passenger train was an extra, running as the second section of No. 55. It left Detroit last night at 10 o’clock heavily loaded with passengers. It was due at Kingsburry at 5:30 a.m. but owing to the heavy traffic, was fifteen minutes late. Freight No., 92, eastbound, received orders to sidetrack on its arrival at Kingsbury and allow the two sections of the passenger train to pass. The first section passed in safety, but, through some misunderstanding about the approach of the other section, Freight Brakeman Herbert Thompson of Ashley, this state, was ordered forward to throw the switch that the freight might pull out on the main track and proceed. Before the freight had gotten under motion the second section of the passenger train came thundering along at the rate of forty-five miles an hour to make up lost time. Before the switch could be closed the passenger train run in on the sidetrack and crashed into the freight train. The engines were jammed into each other up to the cylinders and the smoker and a day coach were telescoped, crushing the sleeping passengers. The second day coach was thrown across the tracks on top of the debris of the forward coaches. There were two sleepers. The head one crashed into the forward coach and for the length of three berths was torn to atoms, the passengers, six in number, being badly injured but none killed outright.
The dead are as follows:
The dead:
J. H. McKenna of Hyde Park, Mass.
Henry French, a boy of London, England.
Charles Birley of San Francisco.
Miss Alice H. Reed of East Boston, Mass.
Miss Nellie B. Tucker of Newton, Mass.
J. E. Coulter, conductor of the passenger train, of Detroit.
John Green, engineer of the passenger train, of Ashley, Ind.
W. G. Ryder of Phoenix, Ariz.
H. G. Zeil of Germany.
An unknown man.
The only damage which the freight train sustained in addition to those mentioned, was that a car of meal was destroyed.
Kingsbury is a new station on the Chicago division of the Wabash, sixty-five miles east of Chicago.
Everything is being done to make the injured comfortable at neighboring farm houses.

Took Poison at Phoenix and Died in Hospital In a Fit of Remorse Stul Swallowed Death Potion in Wife's Presence
A man who registered at the Phoenix Hotel Saturday afternoon at I. S. Stul of Mt. Sterling, made a successful attempt to end his life Monday afternoon by taking a dose of morphine. He was a guest of the hotel only during Saturday night, but remained about the lobby a part of Sunday. Monday morning the man went into the hotel, accompanied by his wife, and asked that she be given a room in which to arrange her toilet. This was done, and the room was paid for.
They evidently left the building, as nothing was seen of either of them until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time Stul went down to the hotel barber shop and asked to be given a glass.
HE TOOK MORPHINE.
The porter got the glass and the man took a powder paper and swallowed its contents. The porter inquired that he was taken medicine, whereupon the man politely informed his inquirer that he was taking poison. He then left the building. The porter thought the man was joking. However, he informed Clerk Wm. Betts of the occurrence. Mr. Betts instructed the bell boys to notify the office if the man returned, and no more was thought of the occurrence. About 7 o'clock the office was notified that a doctor was wanted in Stul's room, the couple having returned unawares. Mr. Betts sent Doctor Bryant, who happened to be in the hotel, to the room. The woman, in the meantime, called at the office and stated that the doctor was not necessary, as the man was only drinking. In a few moments the woman rushed to the office and asked that a physician be sent to the room immediately.
SAID HE WANTED TO DIE.
Doctor Bryant had gone to the room, as also did Mr. Frank Pike, who represents a Baltimore drug house. Stul did not want anything done for him, saying that he was anxious to die. He was prevailed upon to get up, and seemed to be getting better. His wife wished him to go to Mt. Sterling, his home, so they left for the C. & O. Depot to take the 8:40 train. . The couple had gone to the waiting room, where Stul fell into a stupor. His wife made frantic efforts to revive him, but without success. The ambulance was called and the man was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he died 9:45 o'clock. The physicians did everything possible to save the man's life, but he passed away without having regained consciousness. His remains were removed to Milward's undertaking establishment, where they were embalmed and will be sent to Mt. Sterling this morning. His wife was at the hospital when he died and then she went to the Leland Hotel, where she was seen by a Herald reporter.
Said she "We were married at Cattletsburg last Friday. Mr. Stu lived at Mt Sterling, and I at Boonesville. We met last summer while I was visiting relatives in Mt. Sterling. Last week he came to Boonesville and both
went to Cattletsburg to marry. I thought then and was the day we were married but I loved him. The morning following our marriage he bought a ticket and went to Cincinnati. I remained in Cattletsburg anxiously awaiting his return, and was very uneasy. Sunday I was surprised to get a telegram from him from here, asking me to come to Lexington. I arrived here this morning. I saw that he had been drinking. He told me that he had been wild and had gone to Cincinnati and that he felt awfully over his conduct. He said that he was wild with remorse and that he had suffered delirium tremors. We went to the Phoenix. He took a bottle out of his pocket Which was labeled morphine. The poison he told me he had bought to take to kill himself because of his actions. I took it from him and later he got hold of it, and took some in front of me. I was afraid, but he laughed when I said it was poison, and told me that he had been taking it for fifteen years. He put some in a glass and told me to take it. I made a pretense of doing so. Tom remained in good spirits during the day, and often made excuses in order to leave the room. We took dinner at a restaurant and he wanted me to go after some more morphine but I didn't go. In the evening he said that he wanted to sleep and told me to go out for something to eat. I did go and when I returned I saw him lying on the bed and I was frightened at his looks. I asked for a doctor who came in a short time. Tom was soon himself again and seemed to be happy. We went to the station to go to Mt. Sterling and there he fell asleep.
Mrs. Stul knows but little of her husband's affairs and did not know his people. When told that her husband had taken one dose in the hotel barber shop, she seemed surprised to know that he had been out of her sight, for she stated that she did not remember of his leaving the room.
