Robert B. Woodward Woodward was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Arthur Woodward (an immigrant from England) and Margaret Woodward, nee Burns (an immigrant from Scotland, born in Glasgow). Woodward formulated his ideas (which were based on the symmetry properties of molecular orbitals) based on his experiences as a synthetic organic chemist; he asked Hoffman to perform theoretical calculations to verify these ideas, which were done using Hoffmann's Extended Hückel method[?]. Woodward received numerous awards from scientific societies and honorary degrees, and was made a member or honorary member of a large number of academies all over the world. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/ro/Robert_B._Woodward.html   (393 words)

Woodward expanded his gateway, topping it with a pair of carved Grizzlies and a matched set of statues of the goddess California, the namesake of the state. However, while one newspaper review touted Woodward's fine beer garden and a pitifully uninformed woman wrote back to her church headquarters (copied in a local newspaper editorial) that beer and whiskey were served more commonly than water, no alcohol was served there. www.historysmith.com /Woodword.html   (2196 words)

Woodward would almost certainly also have shared the 1981 Nobel Prize had he not died two years earlier.

Whose idea was it? - The Boston Globe Woodward insisted the solution wouldn't work, but Corey left drawings in the office, sure that he was on to something. But the next day, Woodward flew into Corey's office as he and a colleague were leaving for lunch and presented Corey's idea as his own -- and then left. Scientists interviewed widely believed that Corey was telling the truth, but some said that Woodward had a habit of posing questions to which he knew the answer, meaning he could have already devised a solution when he asked Corey about ring formation. www.boston.com /news/globe/health_science/articles/2005/03/01/whose_idea_was_it   (2405 words)

WOODWARD FAMILY Thomas, along with two of their son's, Ralph age 5 and Richard age 3, accompanied the Woodward families to America. Thomas Eavenson would prove to be an important addition to the group in that he would later re-marry to Elizabeth Woodward. It is interesting to note that the move to America would involve paying for passages, buying storage goods as well as the purchase of lands, so we can safely assume that our earliest ancestors were probably 'families of means' for the time.(contact the author for more history) www.geocities.com /rwoodward5620/WOODWARD_FAMILY.html   (183 words)

JCE 1999 (76) 1627 [Dec] A Fifty-Year Love Affair with Organic Chemistry (by William S. Johnson) Ted Bartlett and Ray Conrow reviewed the final manuscript, galleys, and page proofs; and Ted Bartlett, Paul Bartlett, John D. Roberts, and Gilbert Stork contributed an epilogue that complements Johnson's own words, adds a warm, personal final touch that he was unable to provide, and incorporates his final research into the volume. Born in New Rochelle, New York, on February 24, 1913, William Summer Johnson attended Amherst College with the aid of a scholarship and various odd jobs such as tending furnace, washing dishes, and playing saxophone in dance bands (he seriously considered becoming a professional musician). During his long and productive career, Johnson made many contributions to contemporary organic chemistry, the genesis and course of which he describes lucidly with extensive use of 110 structural formulas, 75 reaction schemes, and occasional laboratory notebook pages. jchemed.chem.wisc.edu /Journal/Issues/1999/Dec/abs1627.html   (688 words)
