Six Degrees of Bob Watkins


I'm hoping this minor little blog of mine will serve to get me in touch with a long lost friend of mine who dropped away from my life with no forwarding address in the late 80's, early 1990s. . Shame on him. I want him back, whether he likes it or not. So won't you help? Pass this information on to anyone who might possibly be able to help and let's see if I can get a call from Bob within a week or so. That would be my hope. And I couldn't give a rat's ass if he doesn't want to be found. We were friends like that.

Name: Robert (Bob) Lynn Watkins
Was married to Janet Watkins (Married early 1980's)
Two Children: Robert Ryan Watkins (Born 1983) Would be 26 now. (My God!)
and Brian Paul Watkins (Born 1985) would be 24 now.

Bob Watkins grew up as Bob Nash until he reached his 20's, when he took his biological father's last name. He was raised by Barbara and Jim Nash (ex-Navy Chief Petty Officer cook) in both San Jose, (Northern) California and El Cajon, (Southern) California in the San Diego area.

More facts: Bob attended St. Francis Cabrini grade school in San Jose, California and Attended Mitty High School in San Jose from 1971-1973. He attended El Cajon High School from 1973-1975. Bob had a younger sister Beth Nash and a younger Brother Barry Nash. The last career that I was aware Bob was in was the wholesale meat business. He lived in Tuscon Arizona for a couple of years in the late 1980s, also working in the meat business.

Please provide this information to those who may be able to help me find him. The pictures above are of his two sons, taken in 1990 and of Bob Watkins taken in 1975.

Bob's known affections: Marlon Brando, Brian Wilson, Hunter S. Thompson, John D. McDonald novels.

Bob, if you are out there, bring yourself in. Stapp and I want to reconnect.

And thanks! E.

There may be a special appearance on Oprah if this works out.
