April 29, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — R. David Hoover, chairman of Ball Corporation and 1967 graduate of DePauw University, is among six people inducted this week into the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame. The Daily Times-Call of Longmont, Colorado notes, "The Business Hall of Fame's mission is to honor individuals whose
business-related efforts and community involvement have been
instrumental in providing direction, energy and support to the shaping
of Boulder County."
John Fryar reports, "R. David Hoover, who retired as Ball Corp.'s CEO in January, was unable
to attend Wednesday's ceremony. Hoover, who's still Ball's board
chairman, had to attend a shareholders' meeting in 
Broomfield. Standing in for Hoover was his wife, Suzanne ['67], who said she wasn't
familiar with the Boulder County Business Hall of Fame until recently
but had come away impressed by her first exposure to the pictures and
descriptions of past honorees. Suzanne Hoover urged everyone attending the luncheon to examine that
Wall of Fame, also in the Plaza Conference Center, for themselves."
