ND's First Female Drum Major -- El Paso Native!


Thirty years ago, Linda Lawson made Notre Dame history!  She was the first female Drum Major in The Band of the Fighting Irish!  This week, Lawson (an El Paso native) will serve as a volunteer member of the Sun Bowl's "band committee" -- giving her the opportunity to work again with her beloved Fighting Irish.  The Band of the Fighting Irish rolls into El Paso this Thursday.  Here's a link to a story at El Paso Inc., about Linda's time at Notre Dame:
