Herb Sahlin Tribute

Herb and I gaduated together from Mills High School in 1966. We went on to become roommates at San Jose State College. We loved camping, hunting and especially flying. We both majored in aeronautics and wanted to become airline pilots. We both got our pilot's license, and we flew as much as our money would allow. Herb and I put a large aeronautical map up on our wall and put push pins to identify all the airports that we had flown to. White ones were his, red ones were mine and both of us were silver. It was a real race to see who would have the most. I don't remember who won, but we must have had over fifty of them when we moved on. Herb got married, had a couple of fine boys, Adam and Brian (Baby A an baby B, as he liked to say), and we eventually lost touch. Herb was truly the finest friend I've ever had. He was fun, loyal and engaging. We were brothers. I was looking for him on "My Space" when I learned of his passing. It saddens me so much that I never saw him again. My sincerest condolences to his family.
