GALA HELD TO HONOR RETIRING FULTZ

More than 100 colleagues, clients and associates met in Des Moines, Iowa, recently to mark the retirement of William J. Fultz, founder chairman of marcom agency Creswell, Munsell, Fultz & Zirbel. Fultz, who has spent nearly four decades in the advertising business, came to CMF&Z in 1980 as executive vice president and managing director when the agency he owned, Fultz, LaCasse & Associates, was acquired by Young & Rubicam and merged with Cedar Rapids agency Creswell, Munsell, Shubert & Zirbel. Fultz, who retired Dec. 31, will continue as a consultant to the Young & Rubicam affiliate, which has offices in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids and in Raleigh, N.C., and Indianapolis.
