Iam the owner of a merganser made by William Southard,this decoy has his signed name and yr and date on this most famous decoy ever found on long island.This decoy has brought to light ,all the thugs and corruption from the l,i.decoy museum in stonybrook.The sad part is the thugs were the founders of the long island decoy associaton.Pepole like jamie reason who has no knowledge of Southard decoys,should be writing firy tales for children.Tim Sieger who also should be writing fairy tales,people like sieger try to decieve people who own decoys for his own personal gain.My Southard decoy will be creamated with me,when my day comes.You thugs will never have this rare decoy in your possion.Dan
