Lists of possible Beckman connections

These are rough notes, which are intended to stay in this sandbox, identifying places, people and things which relate in some way to Arnold Orville Beckman and the Beckman Archive at the Chemical Heritage Foundation. These and other pages are possible targets for improvement.
