‘Bubblehead Bob’ Hough at 89

"Happy 89th Birthday Bob Hough!' posts Kerri Thoreson on her Facebook wall. "For those of us who grew up in Coeur d'Alene "Bubble Head Bob" was the coolest grown-up around. His popular radio show on KVNI was trail blazing. He would take to the parade route on roller skates and his smooth dance moves foreshadowed his grandchildren Derek and Julianne's incredible success on the international stage. So in 2010 when I debuted Main Street Monday on KVNI I knew that there could be no other first guest than Bob. He graciously accepted the invite and for the next three years was a regular in the studio and on the phone. Looking forward to giving him a birthday hug today!"

Question: Do you remember listening to "Bubblehead Bob" Hough on KVNI?
