Meet our hometown hero

Herbert enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1967 and served 20 years, first as an ammunition technician and then for 17 years as a communications officer. His postings took him to Thailand, Okinawa, Korea, Kansas, England and Pease Air Force Base. Service runs in his family: his father and his uncles all served.

He and his wife have lived in their Nottingham, New Hampshire home for 23 years. Built in 1987, it stayed hot in summer even with floor units, cost about $2,400 to heat in winter, and grew icicles and ice dams along the roof, a classic sign of an attic losing heat.
