The man weaved in and out between floats. He rolled up to people in the parade, asked them a few questions, then skated away, microphone in hand. People were waving and cheering when his legs came out from under him. With a big thud, Bob Hough’s butt landed on the street. He got up, his smile grew bigger, and he gave the crowd a gymnast’s dismount bow. They cheered even more. Bob “Bubblehead” Hough died Friday, March 11, in Coeur d’Alene. He was 89/ Bethany Blitz , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here .

Question: Do you have any memories of Bob Hough that you’d like to share?
