Pullman mayor, Washington State University professor and “voice of the Cougs” Glenn Johnson was hospitalized, but has been released.

City officials say Johnson was taken to Pullman Regional Sunday night for treatment of a high blood pressure spike. Hospital staff say Johnson has had some short-term memory loss, but suffered no paralysis, and his wife says he is recovering and regaining his memory.

Johnson was scheduled to go to a Spokane hospital Monday for more tests, but improved enough that those plans were canceled.

In addition to his duties as mayor, Johnson is a WSU communications professor and public address announcer for Cougar football and basketball games.
