History / Biographical
Robert (Bob) Dwight Louden was born 1927 in Calgary, Alberta to Orley Dwight Louden and Anne Church Harding. Louden was educated at Stanley Jones Elementary School and Crescent Heights High School in Calgary. Louden began taking pictures at 10 years of age when he and his brother Don received a seventy-nine cent Agfa box camera from their parents before a family vacation to Victoria, B.C. and Seattle, WA. At sixteen years of age, Louden joined the Canadian Youth Hostels Association with his mother and brother and spent the next couple of years hiking with Mary and E. Catharine Barclay (the founder of Hostelling in Canada). Louden was a member of the Skyline Hikers of the Canadian Rockies and the Alpine Club of Canada spending many weekends hiking and taking pictures. Louden met Betty Marie Christensen in the Hostelling Association and they married in 1952.
