C. Allen "Spud" Truitt
Karl "Moose" Winsch was a block mason by trade but everyone knows his real career was as Scoutmaster of East Greenville Troop 108 for 40 years. A towering man with a deep compassion for others, he was tough but fair. He empowered boys to find their strengths, build their confidence, become leaders, and grow to be strong, caring men. Truly one of the greatest influences of my life.
He looked out for me. He made sure I was taken care of in a time of my life when I desperately needed a caring adult. Much of who I am I owe to him.
I have had a career in youth development and I can only hope to have a fraction of the positive influence he has had on youth.
May the great master of all Scouts be with us 'til we meet again.
With great love,
