Matt Winston

I’ve had the good fortune to meet a lot of very smart people in my life. Matt Winston was among the smartest.

Matt could talk to you intelligently about virtually any topic imaginable, and usually had a point of view about it you had never considered.

A polymath and an autodidact, remarkably, he taught himself both Russian and Japanese.

Along with his wife Kazuko, he raised two of the finest kids I know --  my nephew Theo and my niece Aya.

Matt died last weekend after a brief but difficult battle with leukemia.

RIP Matt Winston.
