    I remember James and Gloria Watson in the Liberty Park community since way back when I was growing up in the community. When my brother and I use to pass by Florence and Issac Watson home headed to our home walking we would always say Good Evening as we were taught to address older folks,we would then hear Ms.Florence in passing say "Millie and Chris (our parents) have some handsome boys.Always saw Gloria in the yard during chores. Rest in peace "Sink" thanks for the glorious memories of the past Chris and Vanessa Barnwell
