MKC Kenneth W. Watts (Ret.)
Ken Watts passed away April 27, 2001 continuing to live in Astoria after retirement. He was a good friend and our paths crossed many times over 30 plus years. We met at Station Willapa Bay, again while at different units in Group Atlantic City and finally for both of us back home to the Pacific Northwest. Ken was there when I met my wife and we were married in his New Jersey living room. We baby sat his daughters Pam and Karen in Tokeland, WA and Ken and Jo became godparents to our first son in New Jersey. Ken will be greatly missed by his family, my family, the CG family in Astoria and many, many friends.
