Andy Johnston and the Bob White Quail

Please join us as we welcome Andy Johnston to our February 12 Evening Event. After his retirement as a pharmacist, he has worked tirelessly to restore a 350-acre tract of land to the old South Carolina habitat.

The primary goal is to help bring back the Bob White Quail (Colinus virginianus). Progress is being made and with his efforts and that of many, many others, the very recognizable whistle, "bob-WHITE" or "bob-bob-WHITE", will hopefully, be heard frequently all over South Carolina.

Jed Christoph of Channel 2 Brings Us the Local Weather

Jed Christoph, the meteorologist you see on Channel 2 News, grew up in Charleston, South Carolina and has seen all sorts of wild weather here, everything from hurricanes and tornadoes to major floods and even snow.

While attending college, Jed would spend summers on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands working as an EMR and ocean lifeguard, handling ocean and medical emergencies. He graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in Meteorology in May 2020 and then headed out to Missoula, MT, for his first on-air meteorologist job. In his three years there, he reported on intense winter storms, freezing cold, wildfires, and severe weather.

Now, he's excited to be back home, working as a meteorologist for the station he grew up watching!
