Our founder
Fudrucker has finally been persuaded to ditch the firm name that brings to mind depositions and food stamps and we are now officially “Lockwood & Mead”. Yes, that’s my suggestion, but my hand was forced, because (a) look what happened when we let Frankie loose by himself in the name department and (b) (and most importantly), it is going to positively, absolutely drive the GAR and its members to a frothing, carpet-chewing frenzy when they see us referring to ourselves as “The Oldest Names in Greenwich Real Estate”. Accurate, true, and ooh, so much fun.
I’m a Mead, directly related to Amy Lockwood Mead. Cool name. Cool lineage. Love it.

Dude –
I don’t understand how the new name annoys the GAR Evil Princess? Is this an insider dirt sellers joke? “Lockwood & Mead”? That is the best you got? If it is not linked to anything about you two, it could be anything right?
You should have consulted with me before you decided on a new name. I think you could have done much better. Like…..hmmmmmm….how about “Dick Wad & Associates”? Maybe “Weisellto Jooo’s & Associates”? Or “Grandick Foreyou Partners”. Perhaps “Ore, Gasm & Moore”?
I can write tag lines for all of these for you as well!! For OG&M how about “Bringing the dirt buying experience to a whole (hole?) new level.
What do you think? You like them, right?
Hope this helps!!
ON TOPIC!! So post it, Dano!! Hawaii Five O Dude!!

did the letter EBT stand for something?
According to Fudrucker, they did, though if he told me what, I could never remember – entirely forgettable.
“Scrooge and Marley’s, I believe,” said one of the gentlemen, referring to his list.
“Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge, or Mr. Marley?”
It is not legal to resurrect the names of august deceased historical business personages to whom one has no relationship, in order to cash in on their cache’.
Ah, go jump off the George Washington Bridge.
You should have gone whole hog: Lockwood, Mead, Ferris & Palmer.
Considered, but finally rejected as too immodest.
Certainly better than the short-lived ’70′s NYC creative boutique agency…”Weiner & Forzkin.”
I know it’s more appropriate for a law firm, but Dewey, Cheatem & Howe is hard to beat.
What was wrong with F & F? Fricke and Fracke has that old-time feel.
