They're GREAT!!! I"m so glad you've kept the news clippings and photos. I've got a big "memory box" for Cat, but never got them in an official scrapbook....yet. It's great to keep these. It's a wonderful tradition, and we're proud of you!

I still have the napkin--with the presidential seal--that came with the lemonade they gave us. I found that speech online one time--I'll have to compare it with this one to see if they recycled it!<br /><br />I don't think the spellers get to meet the president now. They didn't get to in the early 1990s, when I worked on the Bee staff, though four of the 1991 finalists got to meet the first President Bush in the Oval Office. As I recall, he gave them little boxes of candy with the presidential seal.Charlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-12201852646732285502010-06-04T07:53:14.000-04:002010-06-04T07:53:14.000-04:00Awesome!

I didn't know about the online archives for Ronald Reagan's speeches. I just looked and found the remarks he made for a ceremony I attended in 1987. I was lucky that my parents were able to attend as well, but apparently Reagan had stopped shaking students' hands and giving autographs because someone had passed him a politically charged message at a previous year's event.
