Doane Paper -

I spent four years in the Coast Guard, but after I got out I was a Graphic Designer for 16 years. Long story short, I’m a sailor again. I’m currently the Bosun on the USNS Shughart in Violet, LA. Before I got this assignment I had ordered your sampler pack and I was very happy with it because, frankly, I love paper products. So when I got this ship I brought some of your notebooks with me because I knew I would need them. As a Bosun my job is to supervise people and give them jobs to do. I walk around the ship looking for things that need to be done or the Captain tells me what he’d like to see get done. This means I need to write them down and I use one of your notebooks for that. I also use the non-bleed Sharpies I ordered from you, which I also like a lot. Because it’s so hot here I sweat all over these things and, surprisingly, they stay intact. So that’s also a plus.

Anyhoo, thanks for the great products. Enclosed are some photos of the notebook I use, and when that one is filled up I have more.
