Five years later, Art Frey, one of Silvers colleagues, noticed his bookmarks were constantly falling out of his hymnals during choir practice. He remembered Silvers seminars, and in that Eureka moment, the Post-it was born. The sticky notes went national in 1980 and quickly became an office-supply and household standard.
