When former KHOU-TV/KPRC-TV news anchor Steve Smith was honored at the 12th annual Lone Star Emmy Awards with the Silver Circle Award this year, it was very difficult to see his tribute video at the beginning of the webcast. Among those, who appeared in Smith's tribute video included Ch. 13's Dave Ward, KPRC-TV's Bill Balleza, former KHOU-TV weather anchor Dr. Neil Frank, and Texas Lieutenant Governor-elect Dan Patrick ®, who used to work for KHOU-TV as a sportscaster. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2014/11/steve-smiths-lone-star-emmy-awards-video.html
