A conversation i had with Winston about 20 years ago came to mind today. We were talking about his tenure at Griffen & Howe when he was working with Joe Fugger.
Joe had trained in Ferlach, Austria and had worked for the great Rudolph Kornbrath. While he didn't exactly train Winston, he was the master of the shop.
Winston, a very soft spoken and humble guy, had great respect for Joe Fugger. He said "I laid at his feet".
The rest of the story is that Winston went on to become the greatest engraver America has ever known (IMO). The story of his humbleness and respect says an awful lot.
