Winfield Scott (Win) was born February 27, 1914 in West Philadelphia as the only son of Winfield and Sally Rose Albright Scott. He lived most of his life in the Philadelphia area and vacationed at the Adirondack family retreat on Lake George in Hague, New York. He graduated from Drexel University in 1937 with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering where he was elected president of the student body and was a Reserve Officer Training Corps member. He joined the Bell Telephone Company where he remained for 40 years assuming increasingly responsible positions in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and New York City.
