Ray Baer sent in the following note regarding the "Corporate Challenge" scrapbook (Thank you Ray!) How many do you recognize?
Here is Ray's summery
The Corporate Challenge is an event held every year in Central Park (plus a few other places in the greater NY area). It is a 3.5 mile race that many companies would participate in. John was the motivating factor and organizer for Polychrome. Polychrome started participating in 1989, and we participated as Polychrome each year through 1992. Starting in 1993 we participated as Sun Chemical, or Sun Chemical/Polychrome, and we participated in the race until 1997, although we have no pictures from that last year. It was always a fun event, just being in NYC with a bunch of co-workers from Yonkers/Fort Lee/Clark and thousands of participants from other companies. We also always went out to dinner (on the company of course) afterwards which was also a lot of fun.
And John Baran adds
Organizing the event was a labor of love. We always had a great mix of dedicated runners and some just curious about the challenge. Ray was a great partner, whether handling the finances or contributing to the T-Shirt design. I bet we were the only team to incorporate Grateful Dead dancing bears into our mix,
