He was educated in the Public Schools of Sumter County and graduated from Ebenezer High School, Dalzell, with the Class of 1966. Soon after, he answered the call and served his country with honor in the United States Air Force from 1967 to 1970, where he achieved the rank of Sergeant. In 1970, Herman and Annie Mae relocated to Metuchen, N. J. followed by Brunswick, N. J., where they planted deep roots and began building their family.
