Herman was my landlord for about a year From when I was twenty to twenty one. I remember he was really easy. Going for the most part and always loves sitting on the front porch when I would play guitar and loved singing. During my time there he got to know a friend of mine named marci Who also lived with him after I had moved out. He always seemed full of life and energy. And I learned quite a few things from him.
