I too saw her pass out pico-seconds(Black pepper) about 3 years ago.

Yes is quite a good speaker, in fact she was awarded the Golden Gavel
award for excellence in communication by Toastmasters International
at their International conference in (I think) 1988. You might be able
to purchase a copy of that keynote speech from Toastmasters headquarters
in California.  

The speech was similar to others I had seen in front of technical 
audiences but she really stressed that Toastmasters should assist 
in educating the children of today to communicate their ideas
clearly.  Other than that Adm. Grace told of 'midnight requisitioning',
The origin of the term 'bug', and the other stories that have been 
mentioned.
