mini reunion with Mr. Shiraishi and Mr. Hashimoto

Here is a photo from  the recent mini reunion with Mr. Shiraishi and Mr. Hashimoto. former DIC technical staff who stationed in US.     Mr. K. Hashimoto came right after DIC purchase of Polychrome in early 1980 to.work first in Clark and then in Yonkers for about 5 years working on UV curable resin system.     One of the sensitizers he worked on was successfully used for CD UV printing ink which DIC successfully marketed.     He was later sent to run a company in Holland which DIC acquired for UV ink components.      He is retired and well recovered from his illness/operation he had two years ago.     He enjoys consulting for a graphic arts
company and plays  game of Go.
This is the second time in a few years I meet Mr. M. Shiraishi who stationed at DIC HQ in Fort Lee for some time starting mid 80' as the technical liaison between DIC and various companies acquired by DIC.        He now volunteers to teach and organize Japanese language school for foreigners,
