Commander Edward Whitehead (1908 – 1978) was a British Royal Navy officer, a veteran of the South Pacific campaign, and at one time the President of Schweppes (USA). He is better known as an advertising representative of Schweppes in a campaign created by Ogilvy&Mather Agency in 1955 which ran through the 1960s.A bit late to the party on David Ogilvy, my reading list just got a wake up call. Long/short I have no doubt that Commander Whitehead could take down a certain "interesting man" any day of the week. Big fan of the old quinine water myself.
The bottom right photo was taken by Richard Avedon on a rooftop in New York City. It really had started snowing.
Lightning, meet bottle.

Nice find Mr. Fox. Best post in a while for sure.
How about Lloyd Flatt? Another curious fellow who won and lost a tremendous amount of wine through luck and love (worth a google) and a read of his Wine Spectator obit:

He kind of reminds of your dad. I'm definitely going to start using the phrase "quinine water" myself.
