Dr. Winston was a friend from my childhood days working in my mom and dad's deli on East End Avenue in NYC. He would drop by, always double parking his Buick convertible (with MD plates) and way a joy to everyone in the store. He had movie star looks and we never thought he'd settle down - but he did. When Gilligan's Island was in its prime, he boasted of dating Tina Louise, one of the stars of the show. Of all the folks from my childhood days, Dr. Winston stands out as one of the greatest. I used to joke when my dad asked me to clean the basement that my doc told me to take it easy. When he would ask when and why, I would say the other night, Doc Winstom stopped by and when he left I said bye and he said, Take it easy, John. It was a sad joke but a good one back then. He lived at 605 East 82nd Street, NYC, the same apartment building where Arthur Godfrey lived. Dr. Winston was a very nice man; may he rest in peace.
