Thanks a lot, Jim. I've never heard the story in such detail. I worked along side Tim for about five years in the early to mid 80's. Naturally, the subject of Herron's death never came up.
I'm not sure if you ever had a chance to experience it, but Tim was one of the funniest people I've ever met. I'm not certain, but I think he found religion in the 90's.
Cheers.

Donini! Although it is a sad story, thank you for sharing your Phil Herron death memories.
It makes this thread a worthwhile historical read.

Thanks Jim. I've spent the last few hours trying to find a pic of him. I've got one in the NZ Alpine Journal (His obituary), but I need to scan it.

Being an octogenarian, just about anything I post IS history. I love "to flesh out the story, and bring the history to life."
