Watts recalls WWII fighter ace status and medal act
Watts recounts eight point seven five confirmed kills with eight combat types and broad World War II actions in the Pacific. He helped form the American Fighter Aces Association in the 1960s and attended reunions since the 1980s. Four of the original aces traveled to Washington in May for the Congressional Gold Medal act signing, with Watts and Tilly Pool among the attendees. The medal will be presented later this year in Washington and the replica will join the Smithsonian.

Baytown club marks historic 50th era amid growth
A Baytown social club traces its roots to 1956 and plans spanning a 50th anniversary in November. The expansion in 1964 added a quarter‑million dollar wing and nine holes to the golf course. Opening delays followed a tornado damage, but the new building eventually opened with 13,000 extra square feet and distinctive off‑white stucco.
