Dave Morrison Quotations

We are getting lots of calls from developers. It really cranked up about three years ago and hasn't slowed down.

When you're watching a high-def broadcast, and you see a (standard) commercial come on, it looks like someone put a sheet over your television.

We hear from a lot of people on waterfowl issues, but you have to wonder if you're hearing from only the vocal minority. Finally, though, we have something that gives us some real insight into waterfowl hunters.

Given the new rules, economic conditions and number of contracts and payroll distractions, you have to keep tabs on kids who have been drafted.

Southeast Louisiana winters lots of birds. You have to figure the saltwater burned up the marshes and any groceries. (The ducks) are probably not going to move east because there is nothing to the east. They are going to have to come to the west.

That's what we want. We want organic growth. That is the best indicator of the health of the economy and the health of the market.
