“She could cover any story with unbelieveable straight-shooting clarity and insight," said Laura Buxton, also a longtime local television anchor and reporter, who had known Clark for more than 40 years.
“She was irreverent before it became kind of cool. She was brilliant,” Buxton said of Clark, whom she referred to as her best friend. “I was dazzled by her intelligence and insight.”
