“Win was a joyful, resourceful, inspiring leader who never sought the limelight for himself, but added wisdom and whimsy to every aspect of Country Day life. I am honored that I served on the Chain Gang with him for nearly 20 years: we were clowns, construction workers, vampires, motorcycle dudes, chefs, doctors, NASCAR drivers. Win always brought supreme attention to detail to everything he did, and he made sure everyone around
him had fun.”
–Dr. Tim Waples, Upper School English Teacher and Advisor
