Garry, I wished I had known that you were going - i've been out of town for a few days - I couldn't tell from the various posts in this thread whether you actually went down to Beaver Dam Club at Tunica while you were in Memphis at the "Pyramid" etc. It's only about a 45 mins. drive south of Memphis to Beaver Dam and the original clubhouse and boat launch.
I've been there twice to shoot ducks and it is a real epiphany to sit in those blinds and watch the bird approach and filter through the timber. Stan Hillis and a precious few others can relate. The DU HQ museum and the "Pyramid" displays are great but the tiny local Tunica museum and diaspora are the "Stonehenge" of seminal American waterfowling. If you ever go again, be sure to see it!
