Another great "out of the blue" email has arrived from an old alum. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello again to one of the all-time C/D classics: Marv Rich!

I spent the mid-seventies through the early nineties in the creative departments of Chiat/Day. First Los Angeles. Then San Francisco. Back to Los Angeles. Then New York. And finally back to San Francisco. And always creating. Creating with Sundland. Creating with Doyle. Creating with Cilliers. Creating with Segall. Creating with Cichy. Creating with Hayes. Creating. Creating. Creating. And then I left Chiat/Day. And then no more creating. Years and years of not creating. Until finally, finally I created four grandchildren. Well, I didn’t really create them, but anyway one of them, the last one had red hair and that got me back to creating. I wrote a book. A children’s book mind you, but a book, "I Hate Red." And that’s what I’m doing now. Writing unpublished children’s books. Just click below to read my book.

Marv:

Loved your book!!! And would like to buy several copies. Let me know where and how. Who did the ilustrations? Or should I ask?

Marv,

Great to see your book and that you have continued to create. I have many fond memories of being the "suit" part of the creative work done by you with Sunland and Doyle. Although I returned to the agency business in the late 90s, the "work" was never as good, never as provacative, never as fresh as the work I witnessed and participated in while at C/D. Chuck & Penny contribute to the memories of my 5 years at C/D. As for Jay, without question the greatest influence on me in my entire career and people may find that strange coming from a "suit". Strange but true, but then again, that was my experience at C/D...strange but true.

Marv,

I have great memories of you when I first started at the firm at the beginning of time.

Your book is wonderful. It's great to hear from you.

Marv, I love the book. Will it be published? We could use some copies at my school! Good to hear from you. Lynn Petrulas-Sosa
