| "The first time I saw the bags was at the AAJA ( Asian American Journalists Association) silent auction last year. I immediately wanted one, but there wasn't one for the Detroit Free Press. I went online about year later, saw one on the Web site and ordered it immediately. I keep it on display at work and got (and still get) comments on it often. Then I ordered two special bags using our NBA Pistons championship papers, and they are even more beautiful and well-designed than I imagined. I get lots of admiring comments. Plenty of times I just pull them out and look at them; they look so good. If I had more newspaper friends, I'd order bags for them, too." Julie Topping Deputy Managing Editor The Detroit Free Press |
