Yesterday

I joined Cravath as an associate in the summer of 1968. In keeping with firm practices I was assigned to share an office with an experienced associate. Fortunately for me, I wound up sharing an office with Herb. It was a good experience. He willingly shared his knowledge and firm gossip.
The late 60s and early 70s were trying times primarily because of the Vietnamese War and the civil rights movement. Of course Herb was on the right side of both movements. I was therefor not surprised to read that later in life he did the right thing at his country club. He was a good man and friend in those days.Hearing that he had left us, saddened my heart.
