Lunch with Mr. Gold

Mr. Bernard Gold worked for an accounting firm and handled Polychrome account in 1950's.      He was invited to Polychrome and joined the company in 1956 serving as CFO and a member of the executive management committee until his early retirement in 1979.      Those who are receiving old Polychrome pension are indebted to his pushing the pension scheme while Mr. Halpern, who was always focused on business expansion, stayed cool to the idea.       His increasingly independent thinking, sometimes against Mr. Halpern's wish, apparently accelerated his departure.    Many were then very much surprised  hearing the announcement as he appeared to be well qualified as the next president.     After his retirement he traded commodity and now enjoys a bit of day trading stocks.
Today at 89 with his brilliant silver hair, he looks as distinguished as ever.
