LETTER: Clint Withers keeps up with home on the web

It is wonderful to hear from Clint Withers, graduate of ACHS, former manager of the Columbian Theater, organizer of the Adair Arts festival, graduate of the Savannah School of Art, and now owner of his own business in the nation's capitol. We're proud he is among the young people keeping in touch with home through ColumbiaMagazine.com, and have a feeling we will be hearing more good things about Clint as his business grows.

Linda, This is Clint and I just wanted to say that I have been reading ColumbiaMagazine.com a lot recently to stay in touch with what's going on back home. Congratulations on building such a robust, popular site. From what I can tell, you do an amazing job at keeping current news, etc... just what Columbia needed!

I live in Washington DC now where I started my own creative agency, Creative Republic LLC: http://www.creativerepublic.com. Things are going very well and I've been able to land some great clients.
