Necrology: Judge Alan I. Herrman

Today's New York Times includes a long and interesting obituary for Alan I. Herman, who died last week at age 87. A native New Yorker, he served for many years in the U.S. Air Force, including five years teaching at the U.S. Air Force Academy and another five as a judge of the U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals. After retiring from the military, he became Clerk of Court at the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. He was also a mediator for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Judge Herman earned his bachelor's degree at NYU, his law degree at Syracuse, and his LL.M. at Yale. Unexpected fact: he was a member of the Alexandria, Va., Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society.

Sincere condolences to the Herman family.
