CPT Twit - Linda Ronstadt - Happy Birthday (July 15) from your former University of Arizona Classmate - You made us all proud!

When I was a freshman at the University of Arizona in 1964 a young singer named Linda Ronstadt was in my freshman class.

Here she is in 1964 with New Union Ramblers.

It did not take long to know she was going to be a star and we used to go see her in concert at the local spots like the roller rink.

Of course no one hit on her when we were at the University of Arizona as her uncle was the Chief of Police in Tucson.

Here she is in 1965 with Stone Poneys.

Within a year or two her recording of Different Drum hit number 1 and Linda would become the queen of rock and roll.

Congratulations to a courageous and pioneering woman and classmate, Linda Ronstadt.
