BARRIE WATTS Born1/10/38Born in 1938 in Wellington, NZ, Barrie's hometown was all about science and sheep. Finding his calling at an early age, Barrie recalls the man on the front page of The Evening Post, that changed his life. The man was a famous foreign correspondent. It was an image that lit a fire in Barrie's heart and lead him into his own successful career as international journalist. Barrie's network of journos from various corners of the globe gave him the inside scoop (news that wasn't allowed to go to print), particularly what was happening in post war Germany. With a bet being made predicting a second wave of Nazi terror, it was Barrie that won the cash with his journo's instinct on what lay ahead for the world.The Silent Generation is sponsored by Freedom Aged Care.
