I’ll also never forget how Mr. Herman-Smith not only taught us, but taught us how to think for ourselves, to never be afraid to question the status quo, and to never be afraid to fight for truth once we’ve found.

He was stern yet fair, a little nuts but in the end always had the student at heart. If it wasn’t for this man god only knows where I personally would be now but thanks to him I have done and will continue doing very very well. The sound of his huge keyring coming down the top hallway at Saltus will always be I sound I remember with both fear and a lot of love. Bermuda needs more like him!
