Sherman attended the celebration that my husband and I held when each of our sons graduated from pipe-fitting apprenticeship school. They both worked for Sherman during their schooling and even after. My husband was treated like a brother to Sherman. We went on trips with he and his wife a few times. They were giving people and we always enjoyed being in their presence.
