This pic taken probably in late 70s/early 80s, my father former DOS, I have had name change, he was Brown. A great place to study, and work as well. I was a teenager when my dad worked there, I'm now a pensioner 😅 I do recall a Mr Galina, I think his first name was Italo, he was the boss and a super cool guy. Pleased to see the place still going strong.
