About Ron

Ron got his first taste of radio music as a child on rare trips to the local Thrifty Drug Store
lunch counter in rural Southern California where the jukebox played hits like Running Bear,
The Battle of New Orleans, and Wolverton Mountain.

He got a transistor radio at the age of 10 and listened to
El Cajon's KCBQ on am 1170 until the battery would die. He
pulled weeds for his grandmother and received his pay in the
form of new 9 volt batteries. The music spoke to him then and
it still does today.

He bounced from school to school eventually ending up at
Cal Farley's Boys' Ranch in Texas where he attended high
school and graduated with the "Class of 1967."

Ron spent the next 24 years in the United States Army, serving in Vietnam, Germany, Panama,
and visted most of the states as a member of the United States Army Exhibit Team. He then
retired to teaching high school where he motived young people to be all they could be.
