Announcer Dick Haugen Stricken

Corey Symons of IdahoSports.com announced 20 hours ago on Dick Haugen's Facebook page that Dick has been stricken with a heart attack. Here's Corey's post: "Richard Haugen our broadcaster is in ICU. Had chest pains so we called 911. Had a heart attack with 100% blocked artery. Had a stint put in. Keep him in your prayers!!!" Dick, of course, is the former long-time Voice of North Idaho for KVNI-AM radio 1080. I'll get word to you re: his condition when I get further word. Meanwhile, I agree with Corey and others who have expressed concern: Keep Dick Haugen in your prayers.
