This talk will review progress made over the past thirty-eight years on the selective catalytic upgrading of light hydrocarbons as experienced during my industrial career at major chemical manufacturing companies and also during my recent appointments at INL and USC.  An overview of the discovery, R&D and commercialization of four new technologies, namely AlkyClean™, OCT™, Superflex™ and 1,4-Butanediol™ will be provided along with the initial ground breaking work OCM, Direct PO, C2 ODH and new routes to polymers.<br/>
