Who is John Galt?

My mother and me a went to a Clearwater beach marina; she wanted go to the office and I went down on the water to see the boats - I was in 8th grade. I had never read Atlas Shrugged but my mom had and she didn't like it - she voted for Carter - twice, you know, mother was a donk!

And so I went down the boats and were some fishing boats, some living-on-boats, some speed boats, some sailboats etc. End of the dock, there was most beautiful sailboat I had ever seen. "Ship shape and Bristol fashion", clean and 50 or 60 feet long and name was the John Galt. So in my snot-nossed days I forgot about it.

Halfway home I remembered it, so I said, "Mom, who is John Galt?"

My mom screeched the car to a grinding halt, "WHERE DID YOU HERE THAT?"

"The boat down at the marina, Mooomm" I was beginning to a little perturbed my mom, "Well, who is John Galt anyway, mom?"

"Nevermind"
