It is a natural process of life I suppose how we all move on and lose touch. I don't remember a lot of names but I remember a lot of faces. But this applies to a lot more than Herman's. I have now had 24 years with Liberty Mutual and had many assignments, had many people come and go through my life, as I am sure you have, too. So I have learned to be the best person I can be to the ones who are in my presence. Amazes me, too, how sometimes I seem to meet the same souls or spirits over and over again.
I tried to keep in touch with Malcolm and Carol and did until maybe only four or five years ago. It was all Carol, he'd moved on. That's okay. ANd Phil Gunther I still talk to once or twice a year. I'd love to find Ed Haller...he was my manager in Roosevelt Field and Smith Haven, and he was always really good to me.
The advent of the internet has actually brought so many people back in my life. Quite a few college friends. Old neighborhood kids I grew up with. Now Hermans. I am enjoying the Facebook thing....although I am realizing why I let a few people go.
I truly have an incredibly blessed life.
