For the English footballer, see Arthur Fry (footballer).
Arthur "Art" Fry (born August 19, 1931)[1] is an American inventor and scientist. He is credited as the co-creator of the Post-it Note (though this is disputed by some), an item of office stationery manufactured by 3M. As of 2006, Post-it products are sold in more than 100 countries.
Life
[edit]Fry was born in Owatonna, Minnesota[2] and subsequently lived in Iowa and Kansas City, Missouri. He received his early education in a one-room rural schoolhouse. In 1953, while still enrolled in undergraduate school, Fry took a job at 3M (then called Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company) as a new product development researcher. He worked in new product development throughout his career at 3M until his retirement in the early 1990s.
Fry earned a BS in chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota in 1955.
The item for which he is best known was crea

Marius Mermillon, who was his first biographer, said that Albert André was unclassifiable; however, he is linked to «that intermediate generation between the Impressionists and the determined revolutionaries of post 1900» (R. Chanet) which gathered both the divisionists and the members of the Pont-Aven school which Roger Fry described as post-Impressionists.
Although he never joined any group, the young Albert André undoubtedly shared with Valtat and d´Espagnat the tastes of his friends Vuillard and Roussel (Nabis group).

Post-It Notes and listening – the tools of communication for your startup
Dr. Spencer Silver, the co-inventor of Post-it Notes, died recently. He created the adhesive that lets the small, square notes stick to surfaces. They became one of the most ubiquitous office products ever conceived.
In 1968, working as a research scientist at 3M, Silver was attempting to develop a super-strong adhesive to be used in aircraft construction. Instead, he accidentally created a ‘low-tack’, reusable, pressure sensitive adhesive.

It sounds more like something you would use to repair your broken dining room chair than adhesive required for Post-it Notes.
For five years, Silver promoted his ‘solution to a problem that did not appear to exist’ within 3M but failed to gain acceptance. Then, in 1974, a
