LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Longtime Lubbock broadcaster Dave King died Monday, according to his son and fellow prominent radio personality Landon King. The sad news came the same day the latest South Plains Honor Flight is returning to Lubbock. Dave King served as chairman of the inaugural South Plains Honor Flight, helping to launch the local chapter to take World War II veterans to memorials in their honor in the nation’s capital. More than a decade later, this latest flight included Korean War and Vietnam War veterans.

It's summer vacation for kiddos all across the South Plains but some kids rely on school breakfast and lunch to keep them fed through the day. This means that some times summer vacation can actually become a dread for working parents or low income families who have to worry about keeping their children fed. One Lubbock school district is starting off the summer vacation time with two opportunities for a free lunch in the form of hamburgers.
