Peggy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Herman a few times and what a great man he was.
I am sure he touched many lives and those fortunate individuals will always carry with them the knowledge he shared.
He will be missed by many and remembered by thousands...he was just that kind of man.

Mr. Rose,
Thank you for making a difference in so many people's lives. As I have matured I realize how much of a gift our teachers really are. I know I was a hand full at times and I apologize for that. You made an impact on my life and many others at EGHS and I thank you.
Rest in peace.
