Hi all. Last weekend, the Bells were involved in two tournaments. Bill Healy took Brian Stephan to Nashville, Tennessee for the Montgomery Bell Academy Round Robin.

The top 16 speakers in the US in extemporaneous speaking are invited to the three day tournament. Brian placed eighth, learned a ton, and a good time was had by all.

Twenty-two other Bells went to the CSU Fullerton Invitational. Not as fancy, but just as much fun and the weather was way better. Here are the results:
