The Echo

Available research shows that Claire Mazik was largely absent from Au Clair after her divorce from Ken. She may have held a 49% interest in the school, but her passion was more for horses than the special needs children being cared for at Au Clair.

However, Ken developed another obsession, growing Au Clair and his empire, and during the 80s and 90s he took the school from being an old horse farm to a massive real estate and equity holding conglomeration.  In 2006, ownership of Au Clair was transferred to entity called Kirkwood Holding Company.  While I haven't been able to pin down exactly when Au Clair became Advoserv, the name change likely occurred in the 1990s or early 2000s.

In fact, Ken had a penchant for playing the for profit system by developing companies that supported other he owned companies, always keeping funding close to home.

Precisely 43 different directions to find, vet, and link.  Some might call Mazik a mastermind.  I find him to be an outlier - the right place, the right time, the right opportunities, the right lies. Ken Mazik's success is not a meritocracy. 

 

Despite Mazik's propensity to avoid directly commenting to the press, he appeared to a have a penchant for leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for journalists to follow. (Yes, by this part in the series, we are mixing fairy tales.)
