The picture of Herb in the paper is the way I always remember him. Herb was my instructor in the second year of my apprenticeship, I believe it was Herb's first year teaching. He was a wonderful instructor, made things easy to learn. That was the begining of many things I learned from Herb over the years. Thank you Herb, you were a good friend and union brother.
