Sad to hear of Herman's passing. He and I were in the same flight working the flight line. 24/7 C-141s one after another along with Commerical Aerocraft and a C-5 when it was not broke. We had some good times with his wit and those yellow tinted sun glasses. I remember when he and one or two others did a "Short". The reenlisted of 4 at the 2 year mark. They wer all sad after they did it (Reupping blues at it's best). But he did get some money and I believe a follow on assigment to Grand Forks AFB. Yeah none of us understood why but he was from up there. God bless Herman and your family.
