Received the following from Gerry York of SMU's Heritage Hall. Quite a history lesson. It gives SMU and head football coach Matty Bell a lot of credit for allowing the first black football player to play in the Cotton Bowl. It's about 4:00 long but well worth viewing. Enjoy.

65, I sent that on to my 92 year old grandfather. He called me and said he drove in from Brownwood, TX to see the game - along with a schuck named Marvin Zindler if you are from Houston you know who he is.

I've heard that some of his investigative reports are poorly researched at others' expense. I had a friend whose father's house was vandalized after such a report before all the facts came out clearing his father of any wrong doing.
Oh well, I still dig the blue eyeglasses.

I don't want to burst any bubbles here, but, the REAL Marvin Zindler died in 1992. The Zindler reports you have seen on KTRK since then is a claymation rendition of Zindler.
Very life-like, but claymation.

It must be animatronics (like at Disneyland and Disney World) because I had to do an interview with that s.o.b. in 2002.
