I've been talking with Herm's son John who worked side by side with Herm for several years. Seems he's back home in the shop, originally I think he was just going to finish and complete the jobs Herm had in progress, but one thing lead to another and he had to start making orders and buying products and it sounds like he's going to pick up where Dad left off. He said he's swamped with work and that's great, there's no way anyone that spent as much time with Herm as John has and not have a ton of knowledge with the machine shop. I just hope he continues to keep the business going. Next we'll have to get him signed up on the barn for advice like the old man.
