Les Watson, BHS '66 (1948-1967)

We just learned that Les and 3 others were in Ensenada, Mexico, on a surf trip. He went off the road and was ejected and killed by his car which crashed him to death! 

Very sad time for all his classmates.

RIP Les

I just discovered this page. My mother Linda Golden Nicol class of 1959 passed away in 2007 much too young at age 66. I miss her so much. She met my dad on a blind date in high school.

 

RIP Linda.
