Dr. Bruce received 'Personality of the Year' from Dr. Robert McCaffrey, Global Gypsum 2007. This award was for Dr. Bruce's countless contributions to the gypsum industry over more than 30 years and for his company’s continuing role in aiding the industry in terms of forecasting and technological advancement.
His paper, Survival Economics 2008, had forecast the current downturn in US board markets and the upturn in supply, with the resulting crash in board prices being the obvious result. Dr. Bruce also pointed out the underlying cost structure of old, new and future board lines.
