Herb spent a lot of time at the cabin and lived there for many years, he enjoyed the views on Charlie’s ridge, hunting, gardening, and watching the wildlife. He moved to the Fort Atkinson/Whitewater area later in life to be closer to family. He always had a garden and bird feeder wherever he lived.
