¢ A Dallas band is issuing a call for help among its fans after one of its members broke two teeth while in Lawrence for a show. The Radiant’s Jesse Hopkins didn’t have dental insurance._A few weeks ago, after a show in Lawrence KS, we (Radiant*) were in the hotel parking lot when Levi and I decided it was a good idea for me to give him a piggy back ride to the room. I started running and made it about 10 feet before we had a crash landing that resulted in some injury to my face, namely two broken teeth. I wasn’t in much pain and so i continued with the weekend, fat lip and all. The next day, I called my dad to discover that I don’t have dental insurance. I knew that it was gonna cost me to get this fixed, but I had no idea that it would cost $4,275. Those that know me, know that I am far from rich and will have a difficult time paying this debt._¢ The first dean of the KU School of Medicine has died, the Wichita Business Journal reports.
