Notes |
- “Hermann graduated from Austin High School in 1943 where he played cornet in the Maroon Band. He attended the University of Texas for one year prior to serving two years in the U.S. Navy during the final years of World War II. After that, he returned to the University of Texas, obtaining a B.S. degree in chemical engineering in 1949. He was a member of the Longhorn Band when it took a trip to Miami for the 1949 Orange Bowl where Texas defeated Georgia 41-28. Hermann did graduate work both at the University of Texas and the University of Delaware, receiving a PhD in 1955. His entire professional career was with Exxon Research and Engineering Company in Baytown, Texas. He worked in process development on the catalytic cracking of petroleum stocks and on the conversion of coal and shale to distillate fuels. He was also responsible for the design and construction of new facilities at the Baytown Labs. He and Annelle have always enjoyed the arts and have held season tickets to the Alley Theater for many years. They are members of the Houston Fine Arts Museum and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Hermann inherited an antique Texas desk that his grandfather won in a charity raffle in Austin in about 1880. The desk was featured on the Antiques Roadshow which was shown on PBS in April 1999.”
