September 29th, 2009 at 8:37 am by Jacquie Walker under Jacquie Walker's Newsroom Notebook
It was a proud night for members of the News Four family on September 22nd, 2009, when Marie Rice was inducted into the Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Marie left the newsroom (she doesn’t like the word retired!) five years ago and returned to her native Ohio, after twenty-seven years as a highly respected reporter here at News Four. She will always be remembered for her long-term, in-depth coverage of the turmoil and tragedy of the Love Canal environmental disaster. And, those of us who call her a colleague and a friend will always remember her for her good, good heart. Congratulations, Marie!
Marie Rice spoke of her journalism career spanning more than three decades during her induction into the Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
Rich Newberg, who is also member of the Broadcasters Hall of Fame, inducted Marie with prepared comments and a video presentation of her career highlights.

CONGRADULATIONS MARIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
