R. Duke Watson Interview, May 8, 1986
R. Duke Watson (1915-2010) was born in Alton, Illinois. He grew up with a heavy interest in the outdoors and first visited Seattle on family trips to the West Coast. He attended the Western Military Academy and the University of Illinois where he graduated with a degree in forestry in 1937. Watson moved to the Pacific Northwest shortly after to pursue a career in the timber industry. When World War II began, Watson enlisted in the Army where he served with the Tenth Mountain Division and became a major. On his return from the war, Watson married his wife, Marillyn Black and started his own lumber wholesale business. His interest in the outdoors continued throughout his lifetime and he became one of the founders of the Crystal Mountain ski area and a significant figure in the early history of North Cascades mountaineering.
