I agree with my onetime tournament partner, Diane Brady, that debating was the greatest skill I learned in school. Organizing a debate association and coaching other debaters come close, but I think debating itself is a finer skill.
Oh, and if you get Diane in a relaxed social setting, ask her for an opinion of the state of the dental hygiene industry. She may remember some of the arguments she once was forced to espouse -- and I'd hope she can still pull off that wonderful Southern belle accent of hers.
