To Doc Winston's family: you have my condolences for your loss of a great servant to people. He was an excellent teacher and took his students on many camping and canoeing trips. He taught us to solo paddle a canoe and work on teams. The chemistry and physics He taught encourage me to teach those subjects too at both high school and college level. I will miss him.
