DIC technical staff in 1988


This appears to be from a Clark  party held in 1988
Unlike all other DIC members,  Mr. Maruko at far left chose not to go back to Japan and instead continued to work in US eventually running a DIC plant in Chicago later on.

Florida sales and Polychrome export joint Christmas in 1992

Al Wierling wrote;

These were taken in 1992 when we still had an active branch and warehouse in Miami (actually Ft Lauderdale).      At that time, we shared the premises with Polychrome export and their manager Bernd Ribback suggested to me that we have a joint Christmas party.     I agreed and we met at a site on a rather chilly windy night in December 1992 (chilly and windy by So. Florida standards)       Attending also was the head of Sun Chemical export in Ft Lee, Ursula Stevens, a delightful lady who passed away since then.

1984 China visit


Having successfully completed our first discussion with Chinese official in 1984 for licensing, Simon Chu, Bill Salesman and I had a day of sight seeing in Beijing.          Beijing unlike today had no cars and had clean air.      (I could not find any photo of our actual meetings or the attendants, we may have been too focused on the meeting to think about memorializing the event.)






what Bill Salesman is buying is a caramelized small fruit for 1 cent.
