Roy’s Folks: Speed speller

As a speed speller,  Linda Pickard says she can spell words faster than most people can say them.

“It’s exactly like talking. I could go all day and just spell instead of talking,” she said.

When FOX8 did a story on Linda in 2004, she recorded it and posted it online.

She recently received an email from someone who had seen her video.

“He said, ‘well I am trying to put together a new game show. People with odd talents and such.’ He said it would be a great opportunity for me.”

Linda will be in the FOX8 studios tomorrow morning after 8 a.m. to talk about her unique talent.
