TITUSVILLE, May 30 – Dr. Herb Kitson, Professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville, correctly spelled “arsenic” to become the 2006 Crawford County Older Adult Spelling Champion. Some of the other words on the way to the championship included: superabundant, unobtrusively, and hypotonic. Titusville Health & Aging hosted the event on Monday, May 22, 2006. The free contest was open to all Crawford County residents age 55 and older. Seven people competed for the title through 13 rounds before Kitson claimed victory. The Titusville resident will represent Crawford County at the 2006 Pennsylvania Older Adult Spelling Bee on June 5-6 in Pottsville. Titusville Area Senior Citizens Corporation Executive Director Paul Lukach was on hand to present Kitson with a trophy and announce that he will receive free lodging and meals at the state competition. # # # |
