Well, I'm not really sure how up to date you are with Herb's life. I
have heard nothing for about 4-6 months but he moved from Belen to one
of the Carolina's because Peg could no longer function and he had a
heart attack. So they moved to be near their daughter. I spoke to him
once and he sounded weak. The guy who took over his stand business told
me that there was not much change about 4-6 months ago. Since then, I
have heard nothing.
