Today was to prove an interesting day.
I started out by going across town to visit a wholesaler named “Dallas Pen”. To be honest, I’d never heard of “Dallas Pen” before but during my trip, so many retailers in Louisiana and Texas were singing praises of Dallas Pen, I felt I should include them in my trip. Dallas Pen publishes a catalog which is then distributed through various educational parent/teacher stores. The best thing, according to retailers, is that Dallas Pen can fill orders within 24 hours. Now I call that service!

While at Dallas Pen I had a good meeting with Pat Melugin, president and Linda Carrington, the catalog coordinator. It was apparent why Dallas Pen is so successful. They take care with every minute detail and they know everyone of their customers very well.
I anticipated the afternoon with much excitement and wondered who else would be participating at the “Coffee Roundtable” media event hosted by Jon Griffin. When I arrived, I found that the only two participants would be Jon and me. Oh well. I never really run out of things to talk about! The 30 minute interview, complete with music clips, will be broadcast on three Dallas radio stations this weekend, “99.5 The Wolf”, “93.3 FM The Bone and “Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket”

A big “thank you” to my host Jon Griffin for having me on the show. I think we both had a great time.
