Mr. M. Shiraishi in New York

Mr. "Michi" Shiraishi was a DIC representative between 1984 and 1995,
a relatively long stay for DIC where rotation in 3 years or so was a norm.        He was first stationed in Kohl &Madden and then at DICA as a technical representative and was a familiar face at Polychrome in Carlstadt and Ft Lee.      You may remember him well for his ready smile and his excellent followup.          He was in New York this summer to visit his second son who works in New Jersey.            After his tour in US he went back to Tokyo and Malaysia and then after his retirement from DIC became busy in volunteering  to head Japanese School for foreigners in his city.     He comes to New Jersey often to see his second son, his wife and two grandchildren.            He says hello to all those who were at Polychrome.
