BERGENFIELD, N.J. – Herbert Langer, 94, of Bergenfield, died Wednesday, Nov. 4.
He was a graduate of CCNY and studied geology at the University of Minnesota until World War II broke out. He then joined the U.S. Navy and was assigned classified work as a cartographer at the Pentagon, where he met his future wife, Olga.
