Louise Frances Koury Alley (March 2, 1927 – October 9, 2015) was a radio personality with station KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana, who also operated her own advertising agency. ==Biography== A native of Rochester, New York, Alley was one of two children of George A. Koury, Sr., and the former Isabelle Margaret Joseph. She came to Shreveport with her family at the age of three, where she resided thereafter except for certain military assignments of her husband, Bennie Ray Alley (also born September 1927), a retired major in the United States Air Force, whom she married in 1955 in Brownsville, Texas. They were assigned to Harlingen Air Force Base in Harlingen, Texas, and Walker Air Force Base in Roswell, New Mexico,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louise Frances Koury Alley )〕 both since closed. In 1944, Alley graduated from the Roman Catholic St. Vincent's Academy, a former institution for girls in Shreveport. She then worked in various capacities for Delta Air Lines at the former downtown airport before the establishment in 1952 of Shreveport Regional Airport. She once even participated in the investigation of a crash which occurred in East Texas.〔 In 1965, Alley returned to Shreveport and took a position as a KWKH copy writer. After first filling in on a half-hour program without notes or preparation, she soon became the host of a four-hour weekday program "Open House", usually from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. She frequently interviewed politicians, visiting celebrities, politicians, and average citizens in the news. She also worked at times for KOKA, KBCL, and KEEL, now a news and talk show channel. At KWKH, one of her colleagues was the veteran broadcaster Frank Page. She also worked with Nat Stuckey before his country music career. In 1978, she established Louise Alley Advertising. She left both radio and advertising in 2012, when her health began to deteriorate. Alley concluded each broadcast with the refrain: "Gooday, John ... wherever you are," a reference to an Irish priest and long-term family friend.〔 Widely known in the community because of the nature of her work, Alley was a frequent judge of beauty pageants. In addition to her husband, she is survived by two children.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louise Alley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
