Thursday marked NBC 5 morning anchor Deborah Ferguson's 25th anniversary with the station.
As a student at Texas Christian University, Deborah interned at NBC 5. She then joined the station in 1991 after some time at WBAP as a reporter and anchor.
"I got lucky enough to decide early on what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a reporter," she said. "I knew that in elementary school."
Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price declared Feb. 18 to be Deborah Ferguson Day in the city.
"When my family planted roots in Fort Worth, I had no idea this community would embrace me the way it has," she said.
