All Things Considered, June 1, 2007 ·
Evan M. O'Dorney is the 2007 champion of the 80th annual Scripps
National Spelling Bee. Last night, the 13-year-old beat out 286
champion spellers from around the world by spelling "serrefine," a noun
of French origin describing the small forceps used in surgical
procedures. Robert Siegel talks with O'Dorney, a home-schooled eighth
grader from Danville, Calif., who won a $35,000 prize, a $5,000
scholarship, and a $2,500 savings bond, in addition to a complete set
of reference works.
