Dave Ward named Houston media icon


I was honored when LCAHouston editor Ruchi Mukherjee asked me to write a profile on Dave Ward for the magazine's winter edition.

Then a little fear hit me when realizing I had to make this article different from my other Dave Ward interviews.

No problem there. Ward is always full of great stories.

Here is a sample of the piece.

Former abc13 KTRK anchor Dave Ward has been doing a great deal of looking back lately.

Not only is he producing a new Houston history segment for channel 13, but Ward is also re-examining his own life for an upcoming memoir co-written with Jim McGrath.

Arriving in April, the title is taken from the phrase heard at the beginning of every one of his newscasts through the last 50 years, “Good Evening Friends.” READ THE REST

Ward was featured in the society magazine's men of distinction cover story along with Gordon Quan, Kevin Murray, Dr. Waqar Khan, Shafik Rifaat and Travis Torrence.

Since this article was written for a society magazine, I even got a chance to attend a cover reveal party at the The Chanel Salon at Neiman Marcus! There I got a chance to finally meet Clifford Pugh and KPRC 2 meteorologist Justin Stapleton.

You can read about the party in Paper City.
