He is currently 89 years old and invalid. Don built the Vicks business in Asia Pacific. He is the person who helped buy Olay and Pantene for Richardson Vicks (RVI). And rest as they say, is history! Don was the APAC Area Director based in NYC in 1969 when I joined RVI then called Richardson Merrell, as a Management Trainee. Gurcharan that time was Product Manager also in NYC. And we both reported to a Kiwi named Graeme Robinson who lives now 6 mths in NYC and 6 mths in NZ. Graeme is visiting Don next week. Surin Banta then MD of RHL reported to Don. Attaching photo of me and Geoff Leonard who used to run RV, Australia withcDon. Don fondly remembers everyone at RHL and asked me to convey that to all Ex RHLites. So please pass on gist of this email and photo to all in your alumni mailing list. Regards, Bharat
