In the early 80's, DIC sent in of engineers and chemists to work within Polychrome facility both in Yonkers and Clark R&D. Top management of DIC determined that the best way to support Polychrome is through improving technical strength and built a group focused on plate and film R&D within DIC graphic arts lab. Members of the group included draftee from other departments as well as new hire like Dr. Oe. Many young engineers and chemists came to work in US on rotation basis to be exposed to Polychrome technology as well as working side by side with Polychrome research lab members. Additionally seasoned members of technical group were sent to be liaison between Polychrome and DIC. The program served almost like the in-house graduate school for many members. Those graduated and returned home often became key technical managers within DIC both in graphic arts area and in other branch of DIC business. These photos are from the home parties together with wives held from time to time and from three different years. (I can not determine which is from which year though)
