He introduced me to talk radio and I am still a passionate listener. Your dad helped formed my views on life.

I was age 23 then and did not listen real well to herb but what I heard made me think. My concerns then were having a good clean time and always seeking love but never finding it. I actually saw herb, passed by him once in Costco in about 1990. Ours eyes met and I realized who he was. He had such great character and his looks very much noticeable. I failed to tell him I admired him, perhaps he seen it in my eyes, I hope so. I did not know that I would long to hear him again, that I now understand the man was a great mentor in his opinions. It's sad today we have the progressive push to destroy our culture, religion, the family even our identity, all in an effort to reshape who we are as a nation. As Obama bastard once said, "to transform America". Come back some how Herb and tell us what to do! I would like more information on this great man, if anyone sees this post, his greatest hits as such, from Opinions and Desperate and Dateless would be great. I would pay for it too Thanks, sjkimball@acsalaska.net Steven Kimballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11640187.post-8743775088002573512013-05-27T17:43:52.744-08:002013-05-27T17:43:52.744-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11640187.post-59034533559926360572012-07-08T15:30:42.026-08:002012-07-08T15:30:42.026-08:00I remember Dick Bishop, who also worked with Herb,...I remember Dick Bishop, who also worked with Herb, I believe, in the summer of 1974. Mr. Bishop may have taken Herb's place for a short while, hosting "Desperate and Dateless."<br />I miss Herb. Another memory I have of Mr. Shaindlin, was in August of 1972; wow, almost 40 years ago to the month. I saw him riding his mini-bike close to the A.M.U. campus and Providence Hospital. He wasn't wearing a helmet. I saw this dude and thought: "He looks funny and very familiar."Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11640187.post-86668560493111506962008-10-16T19:57:00.000-08:002008-10-16T19:57:00.000-08:00Hi, Eric -- I'm not a member on MySpace, so I can...Hi, Eric -- I'm not a member on MySpace, so I can't leave a comment on the family site, but maybe you can pass my condolences on to Robin, et al.<BR/><BR/>Herb was our neighbor growing up, and my dad was a part-time newsreader at KQED, so I started listening to the talk show (and later, Deperate and Dateless) at a pretty young age. <BR/><BR/>I remember being about 13 or 14, and being so riled up about some topic on his talk show that I finally mustered the nerve to call in...and he actually put me on the air. Now, this was surprising because (as any listener knew at the time) Herb didn't suffer fools gladly, and he knew immediately that I was just "some kid." I figured he'd make mincemeat of me, and that would be that.<BR/><BR/>But -- and this is the amazing part -- he let me speak my piece, and even though he didn't agree with me, I'll never forget that *he took me seriously.* He actually *engaged* the conversation.<BR/><BR/>And that's the thing I remember the most about him. Even when he disagreed with his callers, he always seemed to be about *substance* -- a quality sorely lacking in journalism today. He never disrespected a person who made a good argument, even if he disagreed with the position that person took.<BR/><BR/>Of course, pity the person who made a stupid argument...but that's another story...<BR/><BR/>The world has lost one of the great ones...but he left behind some great memories, and lasting lessons. I hope that brings some comfort to his kids.<BR/><BR/>Beth (Hansen) Siegel<BR/>Fairbanks, AlaskaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11640187.post-47609408203382235392008-10-07T01:24:00.000-08:002008-10-07T01:24:00.000-08:00Mike,This post made me smile and I need that right...Mike,<BR/><BR/>This post made me smile and I need that right now.

I will cherish the time we shared together at KFQD. It was always one of my goals to make him Laugh. Herbs laugh was one of pure child like Joy. He was a gracious mentor too. Everything I know about timing when it comes to story telling I learned from Herb. One of the greatest honors of my broadcast career was when Herb asked me to guest host on "Desperate and Dateless"<BR/>Even after we both left QD Herb always had time to take my calls<BR/>(I would always try to leave him laughing..selfish on my part)<BR/>I think I will go dig out my set of hotline tapes.
