Perhaps the editor of the Ziegler magazine would consider forwarding a
letter to this gentleman. My limited contact with Mr. Evanina, only at an
ACB national convention, suggests that he is a very approachable person.
Perhaps this is a request which is generally honored.
Perhaps someone in New York or someone who has a flat-rate long-distance
service can call.
I am a subscriber to the Ziegler and have a flat rate subscription and can
do it if no one else feels comfortable with the idea or hasn't put it on
their to do list. .
I'll wait to see if anyone else plans to do it. I don't think we don't want
to bombard the Ziegler, no matter how pure our motives are.

Subject: letter in Matilda Ziegler Magazine
In the May 2006 Matilda Ziegler Magazine, there was a letter sent in to the
Readers Forum column by a David Glagola from Pittsburgh, PA. He says he's
been using the Optacon for 30 years and laments the fact that no
organization has picked up the manufacture of the machine. He apparently
thinks it's next to impossible to get the Optacon repaired. He is totally
blind and is nearly deaf, so he can't communicate by phone. He also doesn't
have a computer and feels frustrated by his inability to know how and when
he can purchase a new machine.
I must admit that I was both surprised and pleased to see such a letter in
the magazine at the exact time when we're trying to reach out to current
Optacon users. Unfortunately, Mr. Glagola does not include his address with
his letter; but I'm wondering if anyone out there might know him and how to
get in touch with him re our efforts to preserve the Optacon.
Thanks.
Rachel
