Barrett Lee McKown

I have fond memories of Mr McKown from my 3 years at DuVal High School (Class of 1969). My first year i had him for Biology Class. My Junior and Senior year I was his Biology Lab Assistant. I worked in the back room for one period each year as his personal assistant preparing lab items for his classes, most notably the gazillion fruit flies for the students fruit fly experiments. He was a kind man who was dedicated to teaching and our learning. He left me with great memories. Rest In...

I am so sorry to learn of Mr. McKown's passing, having called him in February, concerned about the survival of our Society of Mareen Duvall Descendants, of which he seemed the sole officer in recent years. As a fellow educator, preservationist, and genealogist (including hereditary and patriotic society joiner), and being childless as well, I have a lot in common with Mr. McKown, though 39 years his junior, and his full life of accomplishments, friendships, travels, and scholarly endeavors...

Great teacher at DuVal High School, and he was cute to look at. Good memories and prayers for his family.

I was one of his Advanced Biology students at DuVal High School in the early 1960´s. He was an outstanding teacher and was a favorite of mine and many other students. God bless him and his family

I was a student in his biology class at DuVal HS over 60 years ago. Great teacher and person.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Barry McKown was all that and more. Anne and Barry are friends through St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Annapolis. He was one of the loveliest, unassuming, gentleman one could ever hope to meet. He and Anne were stalwart members of St. Anne's who always lead through example. He remains in my heart but is missed very much.

Barry was a fine gentlemen, teacher, outstanding mentor and a good friend. With his help and guidance through many years, I joined him as a SAR Minute Man in the class of 2023. He and Anne were always gracious hosts and guests at many parties we attended. I will miss his wisdom, his support and most of all his friendship. May he rest in peace. C. Louis Raborg Jr.

So sorry - Barry was a kind and generous supporter of the Maryland Society Children of the American Revolution, especially to our daughter, Marykate, when she served as State President 30+ years ago. In our memories, he will always remain ageless. Mike and Donna
