Maryland Allergist Had Upper Marlboro Office

As a summertime allergy sufferer, I make sure to check the local pollen count on a very regular basis.

So I'm sad to see this obituary in The Washington Post reporting the death of Maryland allergist John E. Zucker, who conducted a daily pollen count for local radio and television stations. He was 70.

He had a heart attack, according to the Post report. Also in the report, Zucker practiced for 35 years in Prince George's County and opened his first allergy office in Upper Marlboro in 1973. 

Zucker is survived by his wife, Kitty Kelley, two children, a sister and four grandchildren.
