For those of my readers/viewers who know Herman, you might find this image of interest. Here he is on board the USS United States at NY Pier 47, about to embark on his first European adventure, headed to the University of Dijon (France). Yes, I was supposed to join Herman and Geoff (at the camera), but things went awry for me (another story, not to be retold here). This was the cruise where Herman met a fellow passenger, David Hockney, undoubtedly enlivening his already-keen interest in art.
