Dick Haase arrived in Seattle from Toronto‘s CHUM, (where he was known on the air as Dick Hayes). KOL aired promos declaring with stentorian seriousness: “KOL has acquired Boeing!”
Dick’s on-air name at KOL: Jeff Boeing. (When will some FM guy become Jerry Microsoft?)

He was also known in NY and Detroit as Jack Hayes. (We know him around OSRS as the guy with the mysterious invisible left hand).
KOL DJ line-up in 1968: Gary Todd – 6-9 a; Bobby Simon – 9a-12p; Jeff Boeing – 12-4p; Dick Curtis – 4p-8p; Robin Mitchell – 8p-12a; Greg Connors – 12a-6a.
Mr. Haase/Hayes/Boeing reportedly has retired in Michigan.
