Houglum spent most of his career at KLOO in Corvallis. He also worked in Eugene and was involved in putting KIHR (Independent Hood River) on the air in 1950.

Obit is here.

I met Bob in 1970 when I attended OSU. He was another who influenced me to pursue a career in broadcasting. He will be missed.

I met Bob in 1980 when I came to work at Kloo as P.D. What a pro! He simply knew how to connect with his audience unlike anybody I've ever known. With their "Toast and Coffee" show, Bob Houglum and Pat Lafferty owned the airwaves every Monday-Friday from 8am to 10am. The world is a lesser place without Bob Houglum. Rest in peace, my friend.

I usually avoide these memorial pages like the plague, but I must echo Larry's sentiments. While at KLOO/KFAT in the early 80's, I found Bob to be not only the conusmate professional, but a huge resource to "young-un's" in the business. He taught me a great deal about how to relate one on one with thousands at a time over the air. Rest in Peace, Bob, you will be sorely missed.
