<p>I know this has no relevance at all to the decisions you guys are making right now… but I met a lot of A.F.A high school kids through speech and debate. Hilarious, intelligent, and sincerely friendly kids. Wonder how many of them went on to the real deal… I’ve never enjoyed any crowd of people more, I still exchange emails with one of them even though he’s off at a film school now. Sigh…</p>
<p>When we were there for PW, we accidently saw the high school from the car. The kids were mostly outside, and kindly redirected us; they seemed like really terrific kids.</p>
