JEREMY HUGH WATSON
In this section I have included various descriptions of my own life, mainly the early period. Writing up such memories in such an open forumt is a bit strange in some ways, but in others a means of getting those memories in some sort of order, perhaps a little cathartic and perhaps of interest to subsequent generations. My life was not unusual, but looking back through the prism of place and time gives it new comparative interest. If you have come across this, it may trigger your own memories or be of some fascination of a historically fairly recent, but bygone era. Even life this year, 2020, the period in I am writing this section, is very different from last year. We are seeing our family as much as possible and loving it. Our fantastic little grandson is well into his second year. But a coronavirus in the form of SARS-COV- 2 and felt as covid-19 struck in spring and, although it has not interfered with us directly, has impacted when and how we see them or do pretty much anything.
There is but only passing reference to my wife and daughters or family of my own generation or younger. As elsewhere this is due to great respect for their own privacy and certainly not to simply omit them. They can do their own reminiscences one day in their own way. I love my family dearly.
Since writing the above, my little grand daughter Iris has arrived. Life is very different and positive.
My professional life, society memberships and activities can be found on LinkedIn.
