Sam Minsker
Education

Arguably, Sam Minsker, through his frequent walking tours, introduced downtown San Diego to more people than any other individual. A peoples' artist, who painted with a brush both broad and fine, "Downtown Sam" created pictures for locals and visitors alike. A decade of regular "Walkabouts" helped remind many of us what has been lost and what remains of our city's defining architectural heritage, and why these pieces of history should be passed down to future generations.
