I first met Ms. Rand back in 1959 just before I got married. My fiance wanted me to read all of her novels. We both attended the lectures in New York at the Plaza Hotel. Before we were married, I asked Ms. Rand to autograph Atlas Shrugged so that I could carry it down the aisle when we got married. We continued taking classes with the Brandons, Mary Ann Sures and went to Dr. David Blumenthal's piano concert. Unfortunately, we moved from NJ/NY area but continued to subscribe to the newsletter. I have been a life-long supporter of Ayn Rand and the philosophy of Objectivism. I am politically active and try to fight the good fight for Freedom for the individual. Scott McConnell interviewed me for his book "100 Voices: An Oral History of Ayn Rand." It is an honor and privilege to be included in this historical book.
