"So sorry to hear Herb died last Friday. No one told me at the nursing home but I noticed his name wasn't on the list of residents when I volunteered today. I have been very busy and didn't read Saturday or Tuesday's Tribune yet. I will miss visiting with "Kid" at Hy-Vee. He always had lots of interesting things to tell us. So glad I have two carvings he made for me. I will treasure them always. Love, "Teach""
