Hank Herman, Neighbor

Hank Herman is a writer, author and humorist who lives in Westport. He writes "The Home Team" column for Westport News as well as a “laugh-out-loud” blog, "Beagle Man", which ruminates on life with his wife, three sons, and dog, Ricky the Beagle, who rules them all.

Herman’s memoir, “Accept My Kid, Please! A Dad's Descent Into College Application Hell,'' (Da Capo Press, 2005) is a humorous account of his obsession with his son’s college applications process and was hailed by The New York Times and Chicago Tribune. He has written fiction for young adults, including ''Super Hoops'' (Bantam Books), a series of 15 basketball novels. He was an editor and writer at magazines for many years, serving as editor in chief of Health Magazine in the 1980's.
