Pic.(R-L)Art del Mundo, Peter Smith, Jose delos Angeles...On April 1, 2010 Art del Mundo, McPhar's Chief Chemist, retired after serving the company for 39 years. A Despedida party for Art was held in late March in Manila which was very well attended by the Intertek Minerals Managers, McPhar staff, and his many friends from the Philippine mining Industry. Art and his wife Cristina are building a country house in the hills of Alfonso, about one and a half hours south of Manila. Art plans to enjoy his new low stress life style by spending time learning to play the saxophone, and fine tuning his golf swing. We wish him every success.
