Whistle blowing encouraged in 1989

This note encourages 1200 Polychrome employees to speak up when he/she finds inappropriate actions within the company.       I have not asked Nick, the designated receiver of the calls how successful it was.         But this note by itself may also have served to indicate the management's willingness to listen and as such may have had some value.     See the full text HERE.

Better half's guide to Polychrome R&D 1996

Whenever I had an occasional R&D get together at my home, I made up a flyer to distribute to entertain the members or R&D who showed up to celebrate one thing or other.      Here is the one from 1996.     Judging from the date, Dec. 29, this must have been one for a Christmas Party.        This is a somewhat tongue in cheek description of our R&D but some are factual and good description of our activities.  
HERE is the detail with some photos from the Carlstadt Lab you might enjoy.      You can also read the  write up to identify which is true and which is not.
