Ray Lauzon (far left in this picture) was one of Mr. Halpern's early employee and like Willie Boshardt came from an equipment builder headed by an industrial designer Mr. Mestri, a friend of Mr. Halpern. Ray was Mr. Halpern's all around trouble shooting person and had Mr. Halpern's ear in many areas, mostly in production. He and I worked closely at one time to resuscitate ailing Polychrome Paper division in Philadelphia, a diazo paper coating company called Speidel. He died suddenly as a result of a car accident; we were all shocked then as the company was young and we seldom heard someone's passing at Polychrome.
