RECALLING A LOCAL RADIO LEGEND
Barney Keep,“Sweet,Lovable Ol’ Barn” as he was known by many,is
seen here in this Oregon Journal pic ringing the “goody-gong” one
last time at his retirement party in February of 1979. It was held at the
Civic Theater with a capacity audience. That was Barney’s last show
on KEX after 35 years and Portland radio has never been the same!
