When the Fermilab physics department offices moved from the Village, I was the last to move. I acquired a selection of graph paper. If you can use it for scientific, craft or other purposes, please claim it. I have rectangular, polar, triangular and many more. Contact Bruce at bcbrown@fnal.gov or 815-274-7304.
