As always it is at:

If you happen to have email addresses of any of our fellow retirees that you know of that are different to the ones above, could you please pass it on to me so that I can get in touch with as many people as possible. I know that they can change quite often.
Take care,
Rick Minion

Kobe Steel Visiting Scientists

Under the provisions of the Stelco/Kobe Technical Exchange Agreement, research personnel from Kobe Steel could stay at the Stelco Research Centre for extended periods to work on selected assignments. Most stayed for one year, however, Akihto (Aki) Azumi stayed for two years and received permission from Kobe to bring his wife and children for the duration (1983–1985)
