Motorenfabriek Samofa n.v. - Holland

(in memoriam)

** Quote **

I (Mr. M. Sato) remember very well the day this picture was taken.

It was in June '81 which was just before Mr. Kanamori bacame Chairman of MHI.

Mr. Kanamori visited SAMOFA to see it as the President of MHI who bought out SAMOFA.

What is unforgettable to me was when we had meat dish of deer at lunch time, 

there were somehow several bullets of shotgun in the cooked meat for Mr. Kanamori.

 

Mr. Kanamori was so generous and did not complain about it, but continue eating putting bullets aside.

I remeber everybody by sight.

 

For other people whose names are not known, I will try to see if there is still the old documents in my garage.

I could find the old documents, but it was not complete enough.

Mr. Brouwer belonged to Sales, but he resigned the company after several months of Service, 

and there is no record remaining about him.

 

Afterwards in '83, there was a drastic restructuring of the company and about 10 people 

among them were obliged to leave the company which was a very sad memory to me.
