Jane Goertzen, Rosanna Gray, Mary Miller and Rae Bowman all made the cut in the friendly competition on Friday. Gray, who won, said she attended St. Mary’s Catholic School just down the street. “The sisters taught me to spell,” she said, laughing. “I give them all the credit for me winning today.” (Dan Pelle)
