From John Wesley Smith, Hallsville, MO:

I have received the Ziegler for about 20 years and always look forward to its arrival. Though I can access a great deal of varied reading material on the Internet with my computer and screen reader, the variety of thoughtfully selected articles in the Ziegler is greatly appreciated. I'm a news and information hound, but seldom see any duplication of content compared to what I read elsewhere.

When I first subscribed, I received the Ziegler in braille, since I wanted to improve my braille reading skills. Later I switched to the cassette edition, where the readers do an excellent and professional job.

Mrs. Ziegler truly did a wonderful thing for the blind over the past 100 years by making possible the magazine that bears her name. We should all be so fortunate as to have such a long-lasting impact on the lives of so many. My heartfelt thanks go to those involved with all aspects of the production of the Ziegler in the past, present and future.
