On a day that has taken both Ing­mar Bergman and Tom Sny­der from us, I want to make note of the pass­ing of Mar­vin Zindler, a com­men­ta­tor on ABC 13 Eye­wit­ness News in Hous­ton, TX. Reg­u­larly con­tribut­ing to the news­cast since 1973, Zindler was a local per­son­al­ity rivaled in ubiq­uity only by Fur­ni­ture tycoon Mat­tress Max. Zindler’s cru­sad­ing weekly report “Slime in the Ice Machine,” had such cred­i­bil­ity as to decided the fate of din­ing estab­lish­ments who failed to ensure they were up to snuff. Zindler was cer­tainly feared by some, by respected — nay — adored, by most. The vac­uum he leaves in Houston’s broad­cast­ing com­mu­nity is unde­ni­able but he will con­tinue to live on in our hearts and, of course, in our ice machines.
