A: There have been lots of little things that have happened along the way during our broadcasts: a studio light has exploded overhead, a bird was loose in the studio flying around as we read the news, a bee was dive-bombing us during the news, a robotic camera went haywire and began spinning wildly in the studio, a co-anchor was lighting his pipe next to me at the anchor desk as I read a story and the lighter flashed in some type of small explosion in his face — singeing his mustache!
But I think craziest for me was the night I was reporting live from the Shrine Circus many, many years ago. We calculated which circus act would be underway when it came time for us to go live during the news. My first major story when I moved here from Rochester was a long report on the demise of Bethlehem Steel. Think of how many disappointing events Western New York has endured since then and how many times we thought good things were happening, only to have our hopes dashed.
This time, the renaissance is real and young people have a reason to stay and work in Buffalo. Why is it important for you to give back?
A: I believe we are obligated to serve others. The purpose of life, as I see it, is to leave this world better than we found it. We can do that in a million ways. A: I have favorites in different areas. As the daughter of a WWII veteran, what a thrill to fly in an F-4 Phantom Jet…and, in a later story, to fly on and off the deck of the aircraft carrier, U.
After both of these stories, I heard from male viewers who told me I had just lived their lifelong dream. What an opportunity! It was heart-wrenching beyond belief to report from Oklahoma City for several days after the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building, knowing the suspected bomber was from WNY.
People were walking down the streets there just openly weeping because everyone knew someone who had died in the building. It was a once in a lifetime experience to be reporting live from Canada as daredevil Nik Wallenda completed his heart-pounding wire walk across Niagara Falls.
I remember them as the great American spectacles that they were. Several local sports reporters covered all four, but to my knowledge I am the only TV news reporter to cover four. Q: You are basically a selfie queen! Tell us your secrets to the perfect selfie. A: A strong work ethic. I felt an immediate connection with people here when I moved to Buffalo almost 35 years ago. Growing up, I remember times when my father was out of work, but he took any job, did anything he had to do to provide for our family.
