Editor's Note: This photo, shot on Harold Burson's 97th birthday, was taken in Harold's office following a video recording session between Harold and Pat Ford, former vice chair, Burson Marstellar. When Harold moved to Memphis he donated to the Museum 18 boxes of photos, memorabilia and documents, including the original 1953 news release, written by Harold himself, announcing his firm's merger with Marsteller.
