Early Life
Winters, the Protestant son of Scotch-Canadian and Irish parents, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1913. Polio struck him at an early age, leaving him with a limp. Because of this handicap, the United States Army rejected him during World War II, and he instead spent the war working for the government as a purchasing agent.
