Old Walla Walla Radio Remembered Part 22--Broadcaster LeRoux and Cosby Become Tennis Buds

Recent accusations have changed his image, but in the late 1970s, Bill Cosby was one of the biggest stars, so it was a real big deal when it was revealed that the retired owner of K-HIT radio, Arch LeRoux had hosted the actor-comedian at his tennis court in Walla Walla.   Both were avid tennis players.  I had seen Cosby at Coordiner Hall, the Whitman College performing arts center in the late 70s.  About that time, Cosby and LeRoux, who I never met, but was a staple in local radio in the 60s and 70s, formed their friendship around the game of tennis.
