Winter tale sparks warm memories

WHAT a pleasure to read about Robert Winter [“Set in Stone and Tile,” April 27]. In 1962, I took his American culture course at UCLA’s history department. It was a life-changing intellectual experience for an 18-year-old working-class kid who was first in her family to go to college.

Over the years, I’ve bought several editions of his Southern California architecture guidebook, but I still have the original mimeographed sheets he handed out in that class.

Thank you again, Professor Winter, for being such an inspiration.
