Two years before he died, Dean Winn and an eighty-seven year old friend traveled to Antarctica to mingle with the penguins. Such was the adventurous soul described today in an obituary in the Mail Tribune of Jackson County, Oregon. A native of San Francisco, Winn received his M.D. from Harvard and went on to become a pioneer thoracic surgeon, specializing in open heart and chest surgery. Early in his career, he traveled to Japan, Germany and Korea and served in various U.S. military hospitals as an Army surgeon. Winn loved fishing, rafting and waterfowl hunting in the California wilds with his wife and seven children, in whose company he also enjoyed excursions to Yemen, the Galapagos and Mongolia, among other destinations. The peripatetic surgeon died of complications resulting from Parkinson’s disease.
