Who is Herb Foxwell?
I needed help to live through the night.
I needed shelter from the freezing weather and my car wasn't shelter.
He instructed Brar [a new friend] to find a nearby motel and we all drove there.
Brar negotiated a price for a month and Herb Foxwell paid the motel with his credit card.
Herb hadn’t known me for more than an hour, but he knew that I would freeze to death in my car overnight. He made it very clear this was a situation needing charity.
Herb Foxwell was an extraordinary Man.
He lived all his working days as an Air Force Head-Sargent
