George W. Parshall (September 19, 1929 – July 28, 2019) was an American
du Pont de Nemours and Company for many years.[1]
Personal and educational background
Born in
.Parshall is a member of the Guild of Scholars of The Episcopal Church. He married Naomi B. Simpson on October 9, 1954.
Professional career and technical contributions
Parshall was a senior manager at du Pont during an era of rapid development and commercialization of
air conditioners
.
When Parshall retired from DuPont in 1992, he joined the effort to destroy
National Research Council’s “Stockpile Committee,” he has played a role in advising the U.S. Army in its ongoing effort to safely destroy chemical weapons.[13] The Chemical Weapons Convention
called for the destruction of these chemicals, which generally fell into three types.
