About	From Mr. Herzberg's lenghty and interesting Legacy obituary: "Hershel Zelig Herzberg was born in San Francisco, CA to parents Samuel and Eva Herzberg, and had two older brothers, David, and Mendel. He graduated from Lowell High School and served in the 287th Field Artillery Unit of the US Army in Germany from 1957-59, and was stationed in Munich calculating the trajectory of big guns should Russia invade, and lived in the SS Headquarters in Dachau. He served in the US Army Reserves from 1959-1963 After serving his time in the US Army, Hershel joined the first volunteer group of the Peace Corps in 1961 in Nigeria where he taught history, English, and literature to Nigerian high school students. He met another Peace Corps volunteer, Dorothy Crews, whom he married and had three children in San Francisco." There is a lot more to learn about Mr. Herzberg, so take some time to read the entire obituary. He was a dedicated teacher, but the obituary doesn't mention Aragon. It does read that he brought special distinction to Capuchino. The photo shown here is from the 1965 yearbook. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/sfgate/name/hershel-herzberg-obituary?id=7277332 Rest in peace Mr. Herzberg, and thank you for your service.
