I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch...I am 87 years old, retired and trying to keep my mind active. My first book was The Fountainhead which I read in the mid 1960's and I attended her West Point lecture around 1974, The Fountainhead immediately had an impact by clarifying many things that I believed, that were said so clearly. I have read most of her books expressing her philosophy in novels and some just her philosophy. I continue with my awe of Rand's mind.
