Lori Anne was so tiny, she was pretty much hidden by the podium, and the microphone had to be bent down as far as it could go. I think she spelled maybe ten or a dozen words before going out, but she absolutely stole the show. The poor kid who won? He was just some eighth grader, but with Lori Anne there, he had no storyline! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Youngest-Ever-Speller-Disappointed-by-Mistake-155930035.html" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a local story about her, by the way.Old RPM Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757417287626425183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79659165154922644632012-06-01T12:50:23.218-05:002012-06-01T12:50:23.218-05:00I saw the tape of her winning it.
