The piney woods of Southwest Louisiana sets the stage for the 1978 directory cover. This area is abundant with lakes and bayous which have retained their natural beauty. They tempt you to sneak off to your favorite watering hole and wet a hook while you relax in the warm sunshine.

Artist Steve Watson was only 25 and had only been painting for 6 years when he created ''Gone Fishing''. His beautiful landscapes in acrylics and oils capture a sense of warmth and realism. His paintings are hanging in homes and galleries throughout the South.
