Even though dress has changed and hair styles 'have changed, I don't believe people have changed too much. "I know a lot of people that are alarmed about mini skirts and long skirts.
I hear them talking about the type of dances they have now compared to 40 years ago. I can remember when they had marathon dances and people danced days and nights. "THERE USED to be the mohawk haircut. "I wouldn't say people are as easy to please. They are more demanding, in some respects, perhaps rightfully so.

"The city will grow as long as the people want it to. "I don't know how long we can continue with high, interest rate. I'm not blaming our, the banks and building and loans with that.
I'm blaming the government. "THE GREATEST competitor the banks have today is the federal government. The government needs money SO they are paying a higher interest rate than the banks can pay. So they are competing. "In Shreveport we have a diversity, (in economy) that many cities do not enjoy.
