I worked with Herb at the Army Research Lab from 1981 until 1986. I remember a lot of great discussions with him some of a scientific nature and some just to have fun and remark about crazy things that you come across in life. He was definitely one of a kind.

He was a great and dedicated scientist but above all a wonder person and storyteller.
