| I sure hated to read this post. I bought two of Winnies books along the way. I gave one to a guy learning and told him to read it cover to cover and he'd learn from a guy that knew it all. He was genuinely humble and a very nice guy with an infectious smile. |

This shocks me. I'm on the road now, I read this........
Because I've never met him, I have always pictured Winnie as a young guy. The image from his book is all I knew. He sure got me started. God bless him.[This message was edited by Chris Schlotzhauer on 13 June 2005 at 12:35 AM.] |

I too was deeply saddened to read about Winnie, like others have stated ' he will leave a big gap' in our community. RIP 'Winnie'.
Which prompts me to ask also if there is or should be, a hall of fame of such folks of major importance to our world of PSG that forumites can peruse and reflect upon?, it may also be a source of information for 'Oldies' and 'Newbies'.

| After losing touch with Winnie for many years, I was happy to contact him a few months ago to update our lives for the last 25 or so years. I was happy to contribute, in a small way, to his book. I will miss you, my friend. May God let your soul rest in peace, and also give comfort to your loved ones. |

| This is a great loss for the steel guitar community. So many of us talk about the book but Winnie was a very good player as well. He certainly will be missed. |

Sorry to hear this, I have had his book since, forever, I think. I still look at it alot & I have to give him & his book credit for me ever learning to play steel guitar. Winnie could never get enough credit for all that he has done for us. I have his other book also, which is well worn. We will all miss this fine man. My condolences to his family.

"My major realization was that I would be lucky if, as a designer, I would be able to contribute one valuable thing to the universe. But as an educator, I could teach perhaps 30 people a year. If each of them, because of their education, were able to give one good thing to the universe, then I would have been of more value to the universe as an educator than as a product designer."

I have only known about him through his writings, which taught me about this unique instrument, and his life.
May he rest in peace.
