Seth Cross, Mr. Irie, Erica Bonime early 1980'

Erica Bonime found this photo of her with Seth Cross and Mr. Irie of DIC at a party.     Mr. Irie was sent from DIC to head the DIC America which at that time held Polychrome, Sun Chemical, Kohl & Madden, etc.    Mr. Irie was running DIC's European operation just before his arrival to NY. and was regarded as one of the most able and accomplished within DIC.       Earlier Joe Piot was appointed as the head of DIC America soon after the purchase of Polychrome by DIC but there were much discord among employees within a few years and Mr. Irie was sent in to rescue the huge investment DIC made in US.     Mr. Irie charmed everyone soon after his arrival with his sense of humor but was decisive in making his decision on future investment in Katzenstein and others.
Thank you Erica for your contribution.
