Beyond that, the Columbia experience made me aware of the potential to tell meaningful stories and to connect with newsmakers. More than that, the experience helped me set a high standard for my future work. Read more.

Awesome, Andy. Enjoyed reading this. I’m buying the Roberto Clemente book for my grandson. Even though he lives on the Eastern Shore, we’re grounding him in Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing this. Mary Beth
