Brian "Barney" Watson

In one of my favorite memories growing up was when I went w/my Uncle Dan Holub to Omaha, NB He took just me in his station wagon for a long trip from Anaheim, CA to Omaha. We made many stops along the way. I stayed w/Barney´s family and had a blast. He took me on rides on the dirt roads....,etc. I loved the open air and the hills! I was in High School but not old enough to drive. Barney felt terrible because I burned my calf on his muffler when I got off his motorcycle. He told me he...

Mr. Watson was a very handsome man/teacher at Omaha Central. So sorry to hear of his passing. RIP Mr. Watson

Mr. Watson was a favorite teacher to so many of us. He left his mark in the teaching world that will never be forgotten. The highlight I remember most was when his wife surprised him with a new motorcycle for his birthday. She had it brought into their home. He was so delighted with that gift that he talked about it in class. RIP Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson! Class of 1984

What a great teacher! He was probably my most influential teacher. He helped me learn to love economics. I became an economist. RIP Mr. Watson.

In loving memory of a great teacher. So kind and dignified. Prayers for family & friends

I was Mr Watson 's student helper at Omaha Central High. What a great experience! Years later, attending a CHS reunion, my Benson Grad husband Jim recognized "Barney" and Claudia as his classmates!!!

Mr. Watson was a great teacher! Loved his class. We all thought he was so cool. Rest in peace Mr. Watson. Cindy Sleder Lambert CHS `77
