\"\"Dave Kirvin<\/strong> of Kirvin Doak<\/strong> called and, in a most gentlemanly manner (certainly much better than I’d have handled it), pointed out an erroneous assumption in a now-deleted item about the Liberace Museum<\/strong>. Fortune<\/em> reported that a PR firm was being paid $300K to represent the museum. Kirvin Doak, one of the biggest PR shops in town was also representing the Liberace Foundation<\/strong> but was not — repeat, was not<\/em> — the one getting paid the 300 dimes. In other words, I put two and two together and came up with five (or 300,000).<\/p>\n

Kirvin’s fee for its Liberace Museum work constituted $17,500 a year in billed hours and an equal amount of pro bono<\/em> work: a heckuva better deal than the Foundation was getting from its other, unnamed PR partner. I have to tip my sombrero to Kirvin Doak for taking on the Foundation as — and I don’t mean this pejoratively — a charity case and I owe the firm an apology big time.<\/p>\n
