Lydia - spelling bee champ!



This past February, my daughter, Lydia D. Winstead, won the Scripps regional spelling bee in Florence, SC and punched her ticket to the national spelling me that was scheduled in the D.C. area this May. This is televised annually on ESPN, and expenses for Lydia would be paid. Wow!, what a blessing. We were proud of here and so excited. Recently, however, the spelling bee was suspended, and several days ago, we received the final word that that the Bee has been totally canceled. We’ll try again next time! I am still a very proud father.
