I won the Scripps National Spelling Bee as a child. Have you heard of it?
I have, The Scripps National Spelling Bee is an annual spelling bee held in the USA.  Im a bad speller though
Interesting. I don't know much about the spelling bee. It was so long ago!
Its actually run as a not for profit event by the E.W. Scripps Company. usually around memorial day
Ah yes, I remember that! What else do you know about it?
The E.W.Scripps Company is broadcasting company that was founded in 1878 as a newspaper chain by Edward Willis Scripps
That's a cool fact! It's amazing a newspaper chain decided to host a spelling bee.
I guess you need to know how to spell if you are going to run a newspaper!
