The best decision I've ever made, up and down, from start to finish, was marrying Charline.

The late Charline McCombs was a strong supporter of the arts in San Antonio. On this edition of the Beat, we take a look at her contributions to the arts and public TV. Watch the full episode online: klrn.org/thebeat #THEBEATKLRN #KLRNDigital

It’s so appropriate that my last alumni visit on the last day of the decade is w/ the Remarkable @RedMcCombs. We miss the Incomparable Charline, but we remain grateful to the entire McCombs family for their continued friendship, generosity & leadership @SouthwesternU.

Thank you to @RedMcCombs & the group of visionary business leaders who brought the Dallas Chaparrals to town in 1973. On October 10, 1973 the Spurs regular season opener was played at the Hemisfair Arena against the San Diego Conquistadors who were coached by Wilt Chamberlain.

#OTD Oct. 10, 1973 The first @spurs game was played! We had learned during HemisFair that SA wasn't on the map - we needed a major pro sports team to change that. So a group of SA businessmen (incl. myself) leased the Dallas ABA team. I wasn't even a basketball fan at the time!

46 years ago today the San Antonio Spurs took the floor for the first time in the ABA. From those humble beginnings, it’s been a pretty remarkable run. Thanks Red!

That leased team, of course, was the Dallas Chaparrals -- and the rest is history, 5 NBA championships' worth.

Charline always reminds me that I've never quite had abs of steel... But I remind her I've got a body of bronze!

Both San Antonio sports aficionados and #spurs fans have long appreciated the contributions of this #Longhorns benefactor, who also has a statue inside the impressive UT Athletics Hall of Fame. #redmccombs

So sad to learn Mayor Lila Cockrell has passed away. A true icon - serving as SA’s first female mayor in 1975 - she served this city into her 90’s. A truly wonderful woman. Here st her 97th Birthday signing her autobiography #kens5eyewitness – at San Antonio, TX
