It is official – the 2009 Annual Paper Airplane contest at the Laruance Reid Gas Conditioning Conference was a success!
The competition was fierce. Many participants experienced and worked around the hazards of the walls and low hanging beam. The designs were varied and unique. In fact one participant was so good she created the paper airplane boomerang … talk about talent.
In the end Loren Gearhart of Lummus Technology took first place with a throw of 53 feet 9 inches (in fact he made two throws of this length) and Jeff Garrison of Thomas Russell Co. came in second with a throw of 40 feet 9 inches.
We added a second competition this year, Wii Golf. After watching the participants and seeing the results all I can say is Tiger Woods had better watch out! John York of DCP Midstream won the competition with a score of 570 and Mr. Gearhart also placed in this event with a score 560.
The winners of each competition had a choice of Gas Conditioning and Processing vol. 1, 2 and 4 or the GCAP software.
