Spellers carry on
LAN Associates, headquartered in Midland Park, sponsored this year’s 75th Annual North Jersey Spelling Bee in honor of Margaret Karle Schak. Schak, who is LAN President Ken Karle’s aunt, won the first Spelling Bee in 1938, giving her the opportunity to compete in the national Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. and meet President Roosevelt. This year’s winner received a $1,000 scholarship from LAN and Cake Boss Buddy Valastro was there with a TV crew to celebrate with a custom cake from Carlo’s Bakery. The episode -- ‘Going Up?’ -- aired on TLC. Pictured are Margaret Karle Schak, Ken Karle, and Ron Panicucci. (Photo courtesy of Kathy Egan.)
