recollection from years ago that I was able to print pages that had the
slides on one column and my speaker notes for each slide in the adjacent
column.
In a couple of weeks I'll be presenting to a large group. The PDF of
the
beamer class document will be on a USB flash drive attached to the
session's
computer. I want my notes on paper. Can I do this within the beamer
document
or do I do this as a separate document?

Rich,
Try the following:
1. In the LyX file, use Insert > Custom Inset > Beamer Note to insert
speaker notes.
2. For each speaker note, put the cursor inside the note, right-click
and select Action Specifications, which nests another inset inside
the note. In the nested inset, give the Beamer specification for
which slide(s) the note applies to. For instance, <2> means the note
only applies to the second slide of the frame. Note that you have to
type the angle brackets; LyX does not supply them.
3. You now have three options for generating a PDF file.
1. To get a PDF file that contains both slides and notes, add the
line "\setbeameroption{show notes}" to the LaTeX preamble. The
notes will appear on separate pages embedded in the PDF file.
2. To get a PDF file that contains just the notes, change that to
"\setbeameroption{show only notes}".
3. To get a PDF file that contains only the slides (no notes), do
neither of the above. The default is to hide notes.
Pro tip: if you put both the \setbeameroption lines in the preamble, you
can switch among the three options just by commenting one or both out.
