We are very sorry to hear of Herman's passing. Herman helped my dad (Lee Cline) buy my first horse (Blaze). He always called me Tex after that. I remember camping at Myrtle Beach with the Garrison family. Linda taught my brother (Steve) and I to dance during visits at mom and dad's house. I will always have fond memories of Herman and family. Tim
