Profile in Callers and Cuers

Ron Mineau  

Ron was born and raised in Arroyo Grande, CA, and began calling in 1972 just after his father, Jim Mineau who was a very well known caller in the central coast of CA., died tragically at the age of 42 in the Romero Canyon forest fire in Montecito, CA. Ron married his wife, Linda in 1987 and have 5 children and 10 grandchildren between them. Linda's parents, Roger and Jean Knapp, were also a very well known caller and cuer in Corpus Christi, TX. Ron began working for the US Postal Service in 1971 in Arroyo Grande, CA. He transferred to Bishop, TX, in 1982 and transferred back to CA in 1987. Ron retired from the US Postal Service in 2003 after 32 years of service. In 2004, Ron and Linda moved from Arroyo Grande, CA, to and are currently residing in Tyler, TX. Ron is a member of the East Texas Callers' Association, Texas State Callers' Association, and American Callers' Association. Ron is currently the club caller for The Dynamite Squares in Tyler, dancing every Wednesday evening. Ron was a club caller for the Pismos 'N Taws-Grover Beach, CA; Valley Whirlers-Santa Maria, CA; Hilltoppers-Santa Margarita, CA; Curly Q's-Santa Maria, CA; Knotheads-San Luis Obispo, CA; Sparking City Singles & Pairs-Corpus Christi, TX; The Friendly Squares-Corpus Christi, TX; and the Sashay and Whirl-Kingsville, TX. Besides teaching their classes, he also ran caller-run classes, workshops, and dances. Ron called at many other local clubs and associations in both California and Texas. Thanks to Mac McCullar, Ron was fortunate to have recorded 38 records on Big Mac and Scope labels. Linda sings backup harmony whenever she can and they have made two records together. Ron is very grateful for all the callers and dancers who have helped him over the years. He was lucky to have the many very good friends of his father help him with his calling in the beginning. Having grown up around square dancing throughout most of his life, Ron was able to meet many wonderful callers and dancers with whom who he became very good friends with and still remains so today. Ron and Linda feel that square dancing is a most rewarding and wholesome activity and cherish the friendships they have and continue to make.
