Tucson Time Capsule : McCartney visited local resort

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.08.2008
Former Beatle Paul McCartney and his family staged a hasty retreat on Nov. 8, 1978. They had been staying at an East Side guest ranch for more than a week, apparently under the radar of the local press. But, despite denials from the ranch, their presence in Tucson soon became known. They did not appear to want any publicity when a Star photographer located them at the ranch. McCartney's wife, Linda, had lived in Tucson for several years in the 1960s. In a 1965 Star article, she shared several recipes with Tucson, including one for meatloaf. You can read about it in Tales from the Morgue at go.azstarnet.com/morguetales
