What happend to Herman Chapman

I met Herman & Virginia when I was going to the races with the Dalrymple Brothers in the mid 70's. Jim used Herman's motors to set records & win races in Division 5. I remember going to their house in Englewood & Herman built the engines in his garage. They did treat everyone like family & they gave me a Chevrolet belt buckle for my birthday or Christmas, I still have it today!! Herman always wore those unique fishing hats. Herman was always inventing new products for motors & was always submitting ideas to Chevrolet. I think Jim Weakland & a few other racers still keep in contact with Herman & Virginia. If anyone locates an address for them please shoot me a PM
