Former ABC13 KTRK Houston and 740 KTRH news anchor Shara Fryer appeared on Houston Public Media's "Hello Houston," hosted by Frank Billingsley, Ernie Manouse, and Celeste Schurman, to talk about the legacy of her colleague and co-anchor, Dave Ward.
- Dave Ward honored on "ABC World News Tonight with David Muir"
Ward, the longtime anchor at KTRK, died at the age of 86 on Saturday.
Additionally, after more than four decades at ABC13, longtime anchor Melanie Lawson discusses her upcoming retirement, marking the end of an extraordinary career in local journalism.
Lawson, who I heard was already scheduled for this day, also shared her thoughts on working with Ward.
