Here’s Cade’s bio from the Scripps site:
Cade loves a good sitcom and would like to meet Roseanne Barr because he thinks she’s hilarious. At school, Cade is a member of the drama club and works on the yearbook. He plays saxophone in band and is a competitive swimmer on the varsity swimming team. He also likes to play tennis. In his free time, Cade enjoys reading books and watching movies like the Harry Potter series. Although he considers English his best subject in school, Cade hopes to pursue a career in botany.
Well-rounded guy. Good luck, Cade. I’ll have to live vicariously since my competitive spelling career ended in the Cherry High School gymnasium.
thank you :’-)
