PROFILE

WHO: Alan Siegel, age 61

WHAT: Tax-Aide Volunteer

WHERE: Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

How did you get involved as a tax-preparation volunteer? I come from a family of volunteers. I met a family friend roughly 12 years ago who said that he had been preparing taxes with AARP Foundation's Tax-Aide program as a volunteer. So I just tucked it away, thinking That might be interesting when I'm retired and I have more time. I retired four years ago, and I'm in my fifth year now as a volunteer.
