I was the go between for a few years between Ted Hewit and Herm. I was caring for Ted in a retirement home and he told me about Herm and when they got connected again it was hard for Ted because of a previous stroke to write. So Ted would tell me what to say and Herm would send me letters by email and I would read them to Ted. It was a pleasure to see Ted's face when they were read. He enjoyed hearing from Herm. After Ted passed away...when Herm came to our city he brought flowers and put them on Teddy's grave. Two very special friends. I was delighted as well because Herm and I continued to write occasionally and he would tell me stories of days gone by. It was a pleasure to finally meet him face to face after writing so long. I didn't find out about his death for sometime after and just today as I was looking up some names I found this site. Thought I would share this story. - Posted by: Brenda lee (friend ) on: Feb 16, 2015
