Spelling it out for the next generation

If you've lost hope in the next generation, read this story about Miami's champion spellers. A couple hundred of them duked it out yesterday, and once again I was the emcee for the event. These kids were incredible. Some fourth graders were spelling out words I had never heard.
Every year I say that this event is my annual lesson in humility. Hats off to these bright students who worked so hard to make it to the Herald's 68th annual Spelling Bee.
