Remembering Our Friend Alice
Alice Morrin worked on our Assignment Desk for 3 years. She would talk to people all over to set up stories for the Fox 61 News crews to cover. She talked to so many people over that time and we wanted to give people who may have been touched by her a place to share a memory.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Morrin Education Fund, c/o Rockville Bank, 1645 Ellington Rd, South Windsor, CT 06074, to help her 2 daughters.
Vernon Police are investigating an apparent murder suicide after responding to a 9-1-1 call and finding a male and female dead on the scene.

I was really proud of volunteers and all the people of Vernon for this great event on Wed July 29.

Last summer our daughter went missing and Alice was the first among media to respond. She covered our story extensively and called/emailed me daily to see how we were holding up. Our daughter was found safe. I am eternally grateful. Our deepest sympathy to her daughters.
