And the winner is Bonny Jain
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If he could push a magic button, Bonny Jain, who has won the 2006 National Geographic Bee and a $25,000 scholarship prize, would travel to Greece tomorrow. "It is the place I really, really want to go," he says.
The other things he would love to do are -- Study the ruins and learn about Greece's classical tradition. And hold a huge party in his hometown Moline in Illinois.
But the 12-year-old super achiever says that he has some serious business to take care before the big party: He has to prepare for next week's Scripps National Spelling Bee. Last year he had ranked 24th in that contest.
