Don Peterson Quotations

Luke was the only golfer in the two days to shoot under par. His nearest competitor was the young man he was playing with on Saturday. They started out tied and that's why they were paired together.

Luke is a great competitor. There was no doubt about that after the way he attacked the golf course on Saturday. He got stronger as the day went on, basically.

On the first day, Luke was steady. He came back even steadier on the second day. In golf terms, he hit the fairways with consistency. He hit 25 of 36 greens and the greens were pretty challenging. They had cut them and then they double cut them so they would be a little bit quicker.

We suspect that high winds broke the pipe that holds the ramp.

He was in control of that real well. He putted a lot better on the second day because he was a lot closer to the pins.

I think we hoped to get into next week, but I don't think we played down at all today. The two teams played pretty well. I can't be disappointed on how hard we played.

I was a little dubious about introducing this to the lake country. On the Iron Range, it's in their blood.

We don't believe IP telephony is a cost-reduction case. I fundamentally believe that the real value is not cost reduction but how it changes the business.

We just tried to keep things on an even keel.

Everybody else was going south; Luke was going north.

Product sales rose 9.2 percent overall and 14 percent in the United States. We shipped our nine millionth IP line during the quarter. However, product supply delays continued to constrain sales growth. A key priority is to resolve the supply issue and better serve our customers.

After the first day, he went back over to the range and hit balls. Then he worked on his short game and bunkers and he was putting until dark. There were a lot of kids there, but he was the last one to leave. He just loves the game.

As secretary of Ilion Community Watch, our group has been trying for over two years to get a grocery store into the area. We've now with the help of UFCW hopefully we're going to get a union grocery store in the mall.

It just makes me feel so good. I think about the lives saved over the years.
