Jesse Hunt
FameRank: 4

"Jesse Hunt" was Mayor of Baltimore from 1832 to 1834. He resigned office following a banking crisis in which, as a director of the failed bank, he was personally implicated.

In 1834, the Bank of Maryland, of which Hunt was a director, experienced a liquidity crisis and collapsed. Months passed and creditors grew tired of waiting in vain for a settlement, and violence soon followed. On August 6, 1835, a mob gathered and broke the windows of the house of Reverdy Johnson one of the bank's directors. Hunt attempted to protect his colleague's home, but was unable to prevent the destruction of that and many other bank directors' homes, including - eventually - his own.

Hunt, having lost control of the city, resigned five days later, on August 11, 1835.

One of the things Bode is really exceptional at is bringing intensity to big events. They bring out his best. I think that's what you're going to see. He'll bring something special and extraordinary, based on what he's done in the past.

The biggest thing that he's spoken of is really trying to get his focus in all this disciplines, that's been a challenge.

It has its pros and cons, definitely. It's going to require their full intensity for the entire run, and there's not a lot of testing the line at that point.

Using the training runs is a nice tool to show what the athletes can do on the track.

This team is one of the most experienced teams we've been able to field.

This is an incredibly talented group of athletes. We've never had such a wealth of experience at this level.

The goals help the whole process, in terms of focusing the athletes, the staff and so forth.

We're extremely disappointed for Caroline who had been having one of her best seasons ever. But we will have a strong team in women's downhill.
