MN90: My Pal Bob

Home > MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds > MN90: My Pal Bob

In 1954, Hugh Hall from Minnesota traveled west, to the University of Colorado – Boulder, for school. There he met Bob, a blond Californian who shucked the conservative dress of his peers in favor of Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops. Britt Aamodt looks the trajectory of the two friends: one who became a broadcaster and the other among the biggest Hollywood stars of the 1970s.
