Congrats, Doug. I hope you get the brass ring!

I have a related question. I, too, enjoy a good quote but have used them
sparingly in my writings. Does the spoken word immediately fall into public
domain for all to use at will and as desired? My real question, though, is
may I freely reuse a quote I find in a book or on the Internet or must I get
permission from the author, publisher the person who spoke the quote or
his/her estate before publication?

I would appreciate your insights on this.

Thank you,
Larry Maupin
