So Long Val Limburg!

This weekend I was saddened to learn that WSU proffessor Val Limburg had passed away. Val was my advisor at WSU as well as the faculty advisor to KUGR, the radio station on campus. He was also my Com 101 instructor. It was through his class that I obtained a real knowledge of the industry and it's history.
The sad irony is that he probably did not get a chance to see the Edward R Murrow biographical movie that opened this week. Murrow was a graduate of WSU and the Communications department there is named after him.

In regards to your comment, You should contact the Communications Department at Washington State University. I'm sure that they can put you in contact with the right people. Thank you for reading the blog, I too was saddened by Mr. Limburg's passing.
