Does anyone have a photo of Michele Arpin, Dynamic ski designer?

The VR17s skied beautifully in the stiff then soft slop at the Basin yesterday.
I was comfortable and thrilled sufficiently to ski them all morning from 9 until 11 or so. Then it was off to grill some sausages.
Conditions didn't allow for a hard snow evaluation. In the soft I was able to get them to bend at moderate speed and really let them fly in GS turns. Small, soft moguls were easy to handle and quick SL turns worked well, too. I'm looking forward to skiing them next winter when I can use them on harder snow.
The bindings tested out perfectly on the Vermont Calibrator and had plenty of elasticity.

Dynamic VR17s (204cm), Look N17s and Nevadas, Lange Pro(?), Kerma, CB pants and coat. Everything is from the 70s except the glasses and turtleneck. Skier circa 1957.
Thanks to my brother, @Royal and oldandslow for getting me onto such a sweet setup. This is one day that I'll not soon forget.

^^^LOOK toe and marker heal^^^ interesting that it shows up in an advertisement.
@Joal, I'm impressed. If I hadn't recently gotten a pair of VR17s for myself, I'd be hunting you down for those. ;-)
What does the white sticker say?
Made in USA??/ I wonder what factory? What year was the first for the Lange/Dynamic partnership, that may help date the skis. My Lange skis had the Dynamic double bars on the bottom of the tip and that was the late 70"s.
How about a close up of the bases and edges. I'm curious to see what new skis look like 'out of the wrapper'. Also, can you measure the bevels? Inquiring minds...
