OH! Almost forgot this one. I think it was the late 1980's when AMc merged (bought out??? fuzzy memories here) Hood-Hope in Tulsa. HH was a big actor in the ad biz in our region.

Chuck Hood was the CEO while Mr. Hope had apparently retired IIRC. It became Ackerman Hood McQueen.

Inside joke from then....HH employees who knew the ruthless AMc world called the new agency the Hopeless Agency.
