The association between William Randolph Hearst, Sr. and S. Kent Costikyan goes back to the turn of the 20th Century. The Herst-Costikyan relationship continued over the years between R. Hearst Jr. and Clarke W Costikyan. What is of historic interest is that S. Kent was a guest at the formal opening of San Simeon and Clarke was the carpet appraiser upon the Hearst family gifting San Simeon and its collection to the state of California.
