Karin McCay

Karin McCay has been co-anchoring the evening news with Abner Euresti on KCBD in Lubbock, Texas, since 1980. They have been recognized as the longest running anchor team in the country. Karin has also won numerous awards for her health reporting, including a Lone Star Emmy for her documentary on the first South Plains Honor Flight. Karin has two grandchildren, Retief and Leizyl Ruby. Often, she would slip over to their house between the 6 and 10 newscasts to dream up some adventure to share with them before bed. When that little family was transferred to Germany, Karin began mailing stories to her grandchildren. Today, there is a collection of colorful notebooks in Retief's room, each another adventure in the Magic Mommy Stories.

From 5,000 miles away, Karin used each story to remind her family that mothers are special, kids are clever and life is full of twists.
