I randomly thought about Mr. Hervey just now and Googled him, this was the first and only relevant hit unfortunately. I was at Franklin from 97 to 99, and he was my art teacher in 7th grade. I was really into art that year, I often stayed after school with him to work on projects. He was not at Franklin my 8th grade year, so yes, I believe he may have killed himself the summer of 98, this was what I had heard, too. I even recall it having to do with something with his car somehow, like, maybe he turned it on in a closed garage or something?? Either way, it's really tragic. At that age, I wasn't thinking about Googling things, so I never saw a news article or something that confirmed it, it was only word of mouth. So I was hoping to find an article that maybe had more information. I liked him, he seemed like an awesome guy and would never imagine he would go and do that. But that can be said about all suicide victims I think... you just never know.
