Notes from Susan Hautala
- In case you have trouble accessing it, like I did, here's the genealogically-relevant (mostly) paragraph from the obituary above:
- Winter was born in Subiaco, Perth, to John Winter, a customs officer, and his wife, Mabel. He attended Subiaco school and Scotch College and frightened his parents and the neighbours by leaping over the clothes line in the family's backyard. Sometimes he fell in the dahlia patch.
- A profile article from 1948
- Another 1948 article that lists his parents as Mr. and Mrs. John Alexander Winter.
