He makes wordsmiths nervous

Vincent Franco is a 14-year-old eighth grader at Haile Middle School, who makes old guys who work with words nervous. Guys like me.

Vincent is the county spelling champ and he is headed to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in June.

I'm being extra careful with my spelling today because Vincent can spell words that I have never read or heard.

For more, see Sunday's Herald. And good luck in D.C., Vincent!
