Pete Winstead died on 8/7/24. See Austin American-Statesman post here. The article is recommended reading for Pete’s contributions to the legal and the broader community. The article discusses his DOJ Tax experience as follows:
As a young lawyer working for the Department of Justice's tax division in Washington, he was sent to Selma, Alabama, to monitor the civil rights march, an event that his law firm said shaped many of the principles he held dear.
My records indicate that Pete was in Refund 2 (Southern) from 1965 to 1969.
