Upon discovering that the international conglomerate DDB Industries, Inc., was founded in 1949 as the advertising agency Doyle, Dane, and Bernbach, and that DDB not only gave the world its first internationally memorable advertising campaigns, such as those for Volkswagen in the 1960s, but was (a) founded in the year Congressman Sol Bloom of New York died; (b) founded the year that Bloomingdale's in New York City marketed a novelty item for Christmas, one time only: luggage on wheels; (c) founded in the year, '49, associated with Molly Bloom's "yes!" repeated 86 times in the final chapter of James Joyce's "Ulysses" (49 is the alphanumeric value of the word "yes"; (d) DDB was originally located at 350 Madison Avenue and the 350th year of Harvard's existence (my alma mater) was 1986; and (e) since I returned to Pennsylvania in 1996 and got acquainted with my father, DDB has followed my own career and expanded into the healthcare industry, becoming an international player in physical and occupational therapy (that Dad uses regularly), I now conclude that D. Dudley Bloom was, among other things, put on the planet to introduce luggage on wheels and other consumer products and creative advertising and marketing ideas, either directly or vicariously via DDB, Inc., to the world, and as a result one can no more omit his bio from Wikipedia, as once happened, than one can omit DDB itself, which initially was created to be his corporate alter ego, whether it knew it or not. Let me know what you think, Wiki.
