Herman was active in many organizations. He once was President of Fishkill Historical Society, and spoke many times at the Sherlock Holmes Society. He performed in many local theater groups. He was in "Harvey", "Death of a Salesman", "A Wrinkle in Time", "Bells are Ringing" and "I Never Sang for My Father". He played the judge at the end of "Annie" and everybody thought he was a real judge!
If you wanted to know anything about anything, you asked Herman. He was a true Renaissance Man and maintained files about anything you might have been interested in.
