In 1993, when I was serving my first term as president, we had some serious problems with our treasurer. Jim stepped up and took on that responsibility and spent months working to sort out our finances and make the organization solvent again.

In recent years he served on the membership committee, worked on the membership program and helped train other membership chairs. He was a wealth of knowledge about all things technical and digital, and spent much time helping TAG with our updated website.

Jim was a creature of habit. He drove through Scooter’s every morning on the way to work, and ate lunch most days at the same table at the Market Basket. It says a lot about his character, smile and helpfulness that people from every walk of his life attended his funeral, including someone from Scooter’s!

Everything we do with TAG membership has Jim Herron’s fingerprints on it. He was a meticulous record-keeper with great institutional knowledge about how things had evolved over the years. I was TAG President at the time he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was devastated to hear what he was up against. But even after his diagnosis he took the time to train our new membership chair on how to manage our database. We owe him a great debt.

I met Jim Herron when I was a child performer at the Playhouse. He worked crew, stage managed, spent time on his free days working in the scene shop, and once his work schedule made it tough too volunteer for the run of a show, he would volunteer his time helping out with IT-related issues in the office. He was a big supporter of all the theaters in town and a MAG/TAG supporter/member/board member. He was a founding board member of the now-defunct Playhouse group “Stage Door” and a frequent lunch-goer at the Market Basket. He always had a smile and a kind word. He will truly be missed.
