Eunice royalty passed away yesterday; "King Karl" DeRouen, honored twice in Eunice history with a "King Karl Day", passed away Wednesday night. Arrangements are pending.
DeRouen is best-known for over a half century of working at Eunice’s first radio station, KEUN 1490 AM, as disc jockey, sports reporter and general manager.
DeRouen began working in radio at KEUN in 1952, a few weeks after the first Eunice radio station began broadcasting.
