Dr. Gruber holds a doctorate in chemistry, a masters degree in business administration, 47 patents, and has received numerous honors, including the Julius Stieglitz Award, one of the most prestigious in chemistry. Dr. Gruber is also the Vice President of Cargill Dow, a stand-alone company formed in 1997 by a $750 million joint venture between Cargill, Inc. and Dow Chemical Co.As an employee of Cargill, Inc. in the late 1980s, Dr. Gruber was charged with finding environmentally friendly uses for corn. In 1989, Dr. Gruber devised an economically feasible way in which to create plastic resin from corn without using any additives or solventsa feat that had eluded chemists for many years. A $30 million plant was erected in Blair, Nebraska by Cargill Dow to develop the technology invented by Dr. Gruber.The Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame is a Minnesota non- profit corporation. It was established in 1976 for the purpose of honoring Minnesota inventors generally and bringing to the publics attention the economic and social importance of their contributions to society. This mission is accomplished by awarding membership to those Minnesota inventors who have made significant contributions through their inventions.

Eighth Annual MIPLA Golf Social Though it was a bit of a drive to get there, the 160 or so MIPLA golfers participating in the MIPLA Golf Social on July 24, 2003 were rewarded with outstanding weather, a nice course, great food and a fantastic awards presentation (of course, since I hosted the awards presentation, I may be a bit biased in my assessment). What could be better than 5 hours of golf (well, for some, it was closer to 6 hours of golf) with fellow MIPLA members? I am hopeful that next years event will be equally successful, though I dont know where we will find another course that can accommodate so many players. In any event, my thanks to Jeff Cameron for helping at the sign-in table, as well as the many hole sponsors listed below.The awards from the golf event were as follows:Low Team Score:First Place (-12):David Fogg, Matt Luxton, Jon Powers & Derek Chyrsler Second Place (-11):Doug Christensen, Randall Skaar, Thomas Brandt & Scott Ulbrich Third Place (-10):Brad Forrest, Gary Speier, Tom Brennan & Steve LundbergClosest to Pin:Jamin Arvig, Kelly Fitzgerald and Derek VandenburghLongest Putt: Doug Christensen, Scott Bergs and Robin SannesLongest Drive (male): Steve Shumaker, Alan Koenck and Dave BurlesonLongest Drive (female): Jennifer Konieczy, Robin Sannes and Laurie AndersonWe were fortunate to have a number of firms sponsor the 2003 MIPLA Golf Social, with their donations offsetting the costs of golf and dinner.
