Hunold proved to be an invaluable source of both administrative and fundraising support. He was able to draw on contacts cultivated throughout a disparate career as a schoolmaster, a university assistant, a radio commentator, a secretary of the stock exchange, a bank director, and a publicity executive in the watch industry to fi nd a set of Swiss institutions that were willing to sponsor regional meetings. Despite his lack of substantial personal wealth, he worked doggedly to convince colleagues and connections to provide periodic support to visiting academics. Further, his high degree of interest in Hayek's project led him to take on basic or gan i za tion al tasks that his academic colleague was not competent to fulfi ll.
