NCAA Tournament Champs!

Why is a printing company posting about North Carolina basketball? That's a good question.

As a family-owned and operated business for more 75 years, our history is rich with print craftsmanship, innovation, and yep... Carolina basketball.

That is, Tom Gauntlett, an owner and President here at Payne attended the University from 1963-1967 where he played basketball under legendary coach Dean Smith. Tom played in the Final 4 in 1967, but the Tar Heels lost to Dayton.

If you tuned in to the Final 4 or Tournament Championship this year, you might have seen Tom sitting in the 4th row; which is pretty cool. But what's even cooler is the lunch with former Carolina basketball alums like Michael Jordan on the afternoon before the big game.

Hey, I'm happy to go next year if anyone's asking!
