I have volunteered for the Ayn Rand Institute typing transcriptions of radio shows. Normally, this type of work would be tedious, but in this case, it allows me to methodically digest the ideas presented. And I believe the ideas of Objectivism will be the salvation of this country, if and when they become widely accepted.

The Ayn Rand Institute believes that each of us should live an aspiring life in which he can do and be the very best possible to him, a vision based on the thought of Ayn Rand. To live these lives, we need a society where a person’s right to pursue his own happiness is celebrated, where people respect other people’s independent lives, and where in political freedom we create value in our jobs and get the work of the world done. This has been the mission of ARI for its 30-plus years, and the reason why I am an ARI volunteer.

The philosophy of Ayn Rand changed my life. I read The Fountainhead for the essay contest put on by the Ayn Rand Institute as a senior in high school and came back to the OAC to learn more after college. By distributing Ayn Rand's novels and other Objectivist non-fiction and creating lecture courses and podcasts the Institute attracts more people to ask the questions that can change their lives for the better. I enjoy volunteering for the Institute because it means I'm helping others in the chance to make a better world.

I was looking for an interesting book to read back in 1957 when I came across a paperback about an architect and the woman who loved him in a confused sort of way. That book was "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. I loved it. I didn't decide then to become an architect; I was just too busy trying to stay out of trouble and make a living, too. Years later, the Ayn Rand Institute was founded and I've been a contributor for many years. It's a great organization, keeping the flame of rational thinking alive in a crazy world.
