Gary Jones, who retired from the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) in 2004, talks about working as a proofreader in the company's Talking Book Studio and about checking recorded materials and repaired braillewriters in the Quality Control Department. He also talks about the APH cafeteria and its first managers, Sam and Adam Begley; about the changes that occurred at the company with unionization in 1981; and about changes in technology that affected his job. He also discusses racial integration at the Kentucky School for the Blind (KSB) when he was a student there during the 1950s, and he mentions Otis Eades, an African American band teacher at the school.
