POLYCHROME
People 2
Mr. Halpern would hire people for top level jobs on first impression. He would never let me investigate their background before hiring them. The following are some of the people he hired at was essentially a Vice President level:
Colonel Fullerton: The most important thing to him was repairing the cracks in the courtyard. Fred Hozeny our maintenance manager was too busy to do this. When I left Polychrome 35 years later the cracks were still there and no larger. Colonel Fullerton dated Louise Rehm, Mr. Crabbs secretary.

Louis
Esposito: He was hired as the financial officer. After we
started to manufacture presensitized plates, he, together with one of
our chemists, Mr. Cohen, and Mike Wasilko, Mr. Hozeny’s assistant,
set up a competing plant in Mount Vernon, NY, Lith-O-Tech, while
working for Polychrome during the day, duplicating our presensitized
plate tank line. We sued them. Our attorney Jerry Wanshell put so
many causes of action in the complaint that nothing was ever
concluded.
Ray Townley: He had been an executive of Ilford. He did not accomplish much but did borrow $40,000 to buy Polychrome stock. He never repaid this loan.
