(For the record: 1987-1990, 1995-1996, 2012-2015 in their entireties.) Agreed...I hope they and their families are okay. In '89, a speller who sat two seats away from me showed up in DC for the first time with 15 minutes to spare before her first word. I was quite nervous for her. She and her family drove from WV for the bee only (no Bee Week activities), and apparently the traffic coming into DC that day was horrendous.Uncle Spikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-4539745698405713502015-05-27T10:27:17.977-04:002015-05-27T10:27:17.977-04:00The ESPN feed is quite a bit behind both the offic...The ESPN feed is quite a bit behind both the official bee list and Twitter.
