Editor: I read with amusement the story from Jim McGregor, remembering Herman (the Times, Aug. 19).
I remember Herman well when he was a citizen of Langley, always riding his bike around town. He was quite the character. He had a sister, Annie, who used to live in the Birch building at Rainbow Lodge.
I worked in the office at Rainbow Lodge at the time and Herman was a frequent visitor to his sister’s apartment.
Being the kind soul she was, she would often let him in for a meal and a visit.
But, he also ended up causing a disturbance in the building more than once, and would have to be escorted out by the caretakers.
I am sure many people have their stories as well.
Keep up the memorable stories, Jim, and thanks for your thought-provoking questions.
Pat Gottwald,
Langley
