I made a point of watching it because my college roommate's daughter was on this evening's telecast. Both he and his wife appeared also. She went out tied for 4th on the word "sheitel".
This Saturday, I'm going to Chicago to attend her Bat Mitzvah.

That's right|! West Lafayette, IN, the home of Purdue University.

He is described as an 8th grader at West Lafayette Jr-Sr High School. The school year ended on May 23 so I don't know if that means he just finished 7th grade or not. West Lafayette is wedged in between Purdue University and the Wabash River so most of the families that live there are associated with the university. West Lafayette High is considered a very good academic school. It is usually right at the top of the rankings on the state proficiency exams.
No matter where you go, there you are.
