When John Sees and Tom Pinkley got me interested in finding "ole" members of Det 59, the first "find" was Barry Hertzog. While searching for members I came accross a "Hertzog" in Hudsonville, MI - kept on and found his address - and thought this can't be - it is "two doors down" from where my daughther lives. (What's the probability of this happening? - Webmaster) I made the phone call - did not tell him of my daughter's location - we visited a bit and then I told Barry I would be back in touch. Then I called my daughter - asked that she take some cookies to her neighbor and waited.

Our daughter and her family have lived there for about three years, I have been there to visit on two occasions prior to this Christmas visit.

This year Barry and Brenda hosted Joann and I for dinner and a very enjoyable evening. Barry and I spent time together in the afternoon, going over the photo's, booklets, cruise notes and memories.

The following photo shows that Barry has retained his looks over the years, and there I am.

WOW, this was a great visit.
