February 12, 2008: Members of the Columbus Legislative Delegation take a break from the 2008 Session to honor the 2008 National Youth Representative for Easter Seals, Scottie Gaither. Scottie is the son of Columbus Technical College's Health Sciences Coordinator Barbara Gaither. Pictured are (left to right, back row) Rep. Carolyn Hugley, West Georgia Easter Seals CEO Sharon Borger, Rep. Debbie Buckner. (Middle row) Shannon Gaither, Barbara Gaither and Rep. Vance Smith. Front and center: Scottie Gaither.

Scottie has been enjoying his time in the spotlight as the National Youth Representative. Easter Seals has treated him and his family to trips to Washington, D.C. and even Disneyworld! Scottie was diagnosed with autism at a very young age and today, at eight, he is a straight-A student and quite the ladies' man!
