    Discover the untold story of a Florida legend, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, on a journey through the remarkable life of the woman who gave voice—and fierce protection—to the Florida Everglades. You may recognize her name from a school or street sign, but her legacy runs far deeper.

    Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

    From 1949 to 1985, Ralph Renick was THE single most important News Anchor in South Florida. His informed, straightforward style made you feel comfortable, while his signature sign-off, "Good night and may the good news be yours" was a reassuring comment of hope in dark days.

    Many have followed in his footsteps but none have equalled his accomplishments. Take a TALK Down Memory Lane with me and revisit one of South Florida's true legends.
