Garrison
Dinsmore is a champion speller.

Garrison Dinsmore, a Sisters
Elementary School fifth grader, won his division in the Crook and Deschutes
County Spelling Bee on Wednesday, May 22.
The victory qualifies Dinsmore to compete in the state spelling bee next
fall.
The spelling contest was done in a written format, with judges verbally
stating 30 words and the contestants writing them out. Dinsmore noted
that he was never informed of his score, only that he'd won.
"They didn't give us our score or even a copy of the test," he said.
Without a copy, Dinsmore is not sure how many words he got right. He
does know that he got one of the hardest ones.
He spelled "guffaw" correctly, even though he was unfamiliar with the
word. Now he knows that it means a laugh.
