Distinguished RHS Alum No. 3: William Winsor, RHS 1965
The first baby-boomer
to be named a Distinguish
Alumnus of Refugio High
School, William “Bill”
Winsor, was born in
Refugio on Sept. 23, 1946,
to Joyce “Jo” and Merle
Winsor.
Bill Winsor has taken
full advantage of the
birth rate explosion that
erupted after WW II ...
He has utilized his own
energies and abilities
to become the current
president and CEO of the
Dallas Market Center
founded by Trammell
Crowe.
With six million square
feet of space, the Dallas
center is the largest in
the world.
On his father’s side, Bill
is a descendent of Irish
families (Winsors and
Kelleys) who migrated to
Refugio in the 1800s.
Great grandfather E.S.
Winsor was the first sur-
veyor for Refugio County.
Great grandfather David
Kelley owned and oper-
ated Kelley’s Stage
Line between Refugio,
Alligator Head (Port
O’Connor), Indianola and
Lamar.
As a youth, Bill
served as a map boy
for renowned Refugio
historian, Hobart
Huson, for whom his
mother was a long-time
executive assistant
Today, Bill is, argu-
ably, the person most
knowledgeable about
Refugio history. He
is the author of Texas
in The Confederacy:
A History of Military
Installations, Economy
and People.
While a student in
Refugio High School,
Bill was a quarterback
on the football team
and chosen “Mr. RHS.”
Bill is the elder broth-
er to Hallie Winsor Paul
and Charles and Gloria
Winsor. All four com-
pleted grades 1-12 in the
Refugio schools.
After high school Bill
attended Texas State
University (SWTSU) and
graduated in 1969 with a
B.S. in Communications.
Letters
William “Bill” Winsor
Prior to his employ-
ment by Trammell
Crowe, Bill was Director
of Communications
and Worldwide
Merchandising for the
seven divisions of Tenneco
Inc.
In addition, he helped
form Infomart and was
its president and general
manger.
Trammell Crowe
recruited Bill from
Texas Instruments
where he was respon-
sible for corporate mar-
keting and merchan-
dising for five product
groups, including con-
sumer goods, digital
systems, geophysical
services, government
services and semi-con-
ductors.
In his work for
Trammell Crowe,
Bill has done devel-
opment and property
management work
in the United States,
Europe, Asia and South
America, and for marts
in France and Japan.
Also, he has been a con-
sultant for governments
and private developers in
South America, Vietnam,
China and Indonesia.
In 2011 and 2012, the
Dallas Mart Center was
recognized as one of the
top 100 companies to
work for in the Dallas/
Fort Worth area by the
Dallas Morning News.
Bill Winsor’s com-
munity service includes
board positions with the
Dallas Citizen’s Council,
the Dallas Convention
and Visitors Bureau,
and the Dallas Greater
Better Business Bureau
in addition to adopting a
Dallas elementary school
in Dallas for underprivi-
leged children and orga-
nizing Christmas drives
for patients and their
families at Children’s
Hospital.
Alongside the extra
energy he expends in
researching Refugio and
Texas history, Bill is an
amateur archaeologist,
having “dug” in four of
Napoleon’s European
battlefields, including
Waterloo.
Bill is married to
Kathleen, whom he
first dated 44 years ago.
They have three daugh-
ters: Hayden, Myles
and Tatum. The family
spends much of its time
on the Winsor ranch near
Lexington.

Federal citation
Editor:
A few days ago, I
received a citation from
an armed guard for enter-
ing and attempting to ride
my bicycle on Aransas
Refuge property.
I can either pay $225 or
set up a court date in fed-
eral court. When my wife
and I arrived and parked
outside the opened gate,
we anticipated the refuge
would be closed, but we
assumed taking a bike
ride on the paved road
would not be an offense.
As I passed through the
gate, a youngish couple
was working on some-
thing near the gate, and
one of them said the place
was closed.
They were dressed in
shorts and casual shirts,
and they had a truck with
a fishing boat attached,
parked half-way through
the open gate.
There were no mark-
ings of any kind on the
truck or boat suggesting
anything official about
the couple. So I said “OK”
and continued through
the gate.
Within 50 yards of
entering the property,
a truck approached and
the driver gestured. The
windows were up, and I
could not hear the driver,
but I assumed he was an
official and wanted us (by
this time my wife had
made it through the gate
on her bike) to leave, so
I immediately turned
around and headed for
the gate.
The driver of the truck
turned his flashing emer-
gency lights on and accel-
erated toward my wife,
which caused me concern
for her safety. My wife
and I stopped; the driver
in the official truck got
out and informed us we
were trespassing on gov-
ernment property.
He was armed and
displayed an extremely
authoritarian attitude,
and I felt intimidated.
I said we would leave
immediately.
The armed officer said
we could not leave until
he gave us a citation. I
asked him if it entailed
a fine, and he said we
would learn that after he
had completed the cita-
tion.
The couple at the gate
observing all this said
they had informed me
that the refuge was closed
and they would be glad to
testify. It turns out they
are employed in the ref-
uge.
So, I have a choice: Pay
the $225 or go to federal
court. I guess I will pay;
after all, I am guilty of a
federal offense.

Fight for freedom
Editor:
There is one thing in life
worth fighting for - free-
dom. The pilgrims came
to our country fleeing reli-
gious and political oppres-
sion from dictators and
state religions in Europe.
Their descendants settled
our country and wrote our
Constitution, establishing
the greatest government
on the face of the earth,
a nation that has been a
beacon of freedom to the
world for 237 years.
Now we have a presi-
dent and a Supreme
Court who are system-

atically attempting to
dismantle the very docu-
ment that has made our
country great, by legisla-
tion from the bench and
by executive order.
Our country became
great because the found-
ers recognized that our
rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness
are granted us by our cre-
ator and not the govern-
ment.
The First Amendment
states: Congress shall
make no law respecting
an establishment of reli-
gion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom
of speech... Twenty-
five years ago, Ronald
Reagan said, “The First
Amendment was not writ-
ten to protect the people
of this country from reli-
gious values; it was writ-
ten to protect religious
values from government
tyranny.”
President Obama is
waging a war against
our religious freedom by
using the term “freedom
of worship.” We do not
have freedom of worship,
we have freedom of reli-

Worship is a private
act or corporate act with-
in the four walls of the
church.
Exercising our religion
is living out our beliefs,
translating our faith into
public action. The Obama
administration, with the
help of a mainstream
media that directs and
controls public opinion,
seeks to control what we
are allowed to believe, say
and do.
Those who hold to fun-
damental moral and fam-
ily standards are consid-
ered to be bigots. Well,
our forefathers were will-
ing to fight and die to pre-
serve our free nation. Will
we stand up and defend
it, too?
