Russ Jackson was a Tucson radio personality in the 1950s and 1960s on KCNA, KVOA, KTKT, and KMOP. Before retiring, he was a professor of telecommunications at Palomar College in San Marcos, California. He has seen many of his students find careers in broadcasting. C.J. Brown arrived in Tucson in 1960, just in time to become a huge fan of KTKT and Top 40 radio. A retired railroader, he maintains the KTKT alumni website, www.ktkt99.com, and owns one of the largest collections of Tucson radio memorabilia.
