I was over at the High School last week, and got to wondering what ever happened to Mr. Helm. I did a search on his name, and found out his son is a Professor at Andrews University. So I emailed him and here's what I got back:
Start at bottom:
Hi Dana:
Thank you for your interest and remembrance of my father. It is good to hear that he had a positive influence on his students. While I am sure that he would have been happy to have heard from you, unfortunately he passed away in 2006.
It is a high possibility that it was me that performed at Niles High School, my brother was also on the team for a year or two, but we would have overlapped.
I hope you don’t mind, but I will pass this email on to my mom who is still alive, I am sure she will be warmed by it.
Thanks again,
Herb

Subject: Your father
Dear Dr. Helm,
I am a graduate of Niles Community Schools, Class of 1974, and I’m trying to locate any information I can on Mr. Herbert Helm, one of our math teachers. I’m guessing, based on the picture of you on the Andrews University website, he might have been your father.
Since Mr. Helm was such an influence on so many of us, and we still talk about Helm’s Angels at class reunions, I was wondering if you could provide any information about his current status. Is he still alive, and in the area? Does he accept calls from former students? Just that sort of thing. We will be having another class reunion in a couple of years and I’d like to post something on the class website about him.
If he was not your father, sorry for the inconvenience, but you can certainly understand my mistake. If I remember correctly, he had a son on the Andrews gymnastic team that performed at Niles High School while I was there, was that you?
Sincerely,
Dana
