Angie, Mrs Watson had a contagious enthusiam for the subjects she taught and was very good at what she did. I have forgotten many of my college instructors, but not Mrs Watson. She took our class to her home for a Christmas party. She even had her well organized closets with all her shoes and clothes on display. I have often wondered what happened to her. I decided to see if I could find any record of her after the Congressional Metal of Honor was bestowed on the ladies who served in the WASP. It’s so nice to learn she’s still active. I’ll enjoy any information you care to pass on.

Thanks,

Homer

I believe Mrs. Watson taught me at Howard County Junior College in the mid 60′s. Her husband worked for Phillips and they moved to Midland. Is this the same Mrs. Watson?

What a fascinating and inspirational woman. I am so glad you put this on your blog. My mother passed away a year ago in March. Her name was also Florene Watson. My parents were married 65 years. It would have been nice if my mom could have met this other Florene Watson in person – they are about the same age, and I know my mom would have enjoyed it tremendously. My mom’s family has a long history in Texas. Again, thank you. I’ve shared this blog with my two sisters.

Hello David,

Florene’s daughter, Gail, sent me this Website. I am Florene’s
sister, Garnette Erwin who lives in Richardson, Texas…………and very excited that you wrote such nice things about her. I do think a sister qualifies one to comment on her character as well as her ability.
I have never known a more devout Christian or a sweeter
person. What a blessing it has been to communicate with this
special woman.
Thank you, David, for passing her “glory” on to others!!!
Garnette Erwin, Richardson, Texas

I loved the story about Mrs. Florene Miller Watson – I am also a pilot and love reading about the Women of Aviation. How I would love to sit down and talk to this totally unique Lady of Aviation History. Does she have an email address? Thanks for putting this on your Blog.. Jerry
