From Barbara Mattson, Spartanburg, SC:

Twenty-eight years of editing and producing a magazine for the blind is almost a lifetime. But that's exactly what Ed Potter has done as editor/producer of a cassette magazine called Playback. On top of that, he has managed a mail-order business--offering gift wrapping during the holidays. Although I've only subscribed a few of those years, I have found the sources and reviews of various mainstream appliances and products for the blind useful. Playback has certainly been a leading magazine for this kind of information. With its last issue being distributed at the end of 2007, I can't help but believe Ed is on the brink of beginning a new chapter in his life. This is likely largely due to the digital age. I eagerly await his presence in this technological evolution.
