July 2005 - In 1983, Herb put in many hours training in order to run the 26.2 mile St. Louis marathon. It was one of his more memorable and fun running experiences since he ran cross country and track with his friends in high school.

July 2005 - After working 40 years for the same company, Herb officially retired in 1998. He now consults with that company and is currently working on an upgrade of the environmental control system for the Minuteman Missile launch facilities and launch control centers. He had originally worked on the Minuteman program in the early ‘60s and says he found climbing down into the silos easier then.
