I truly did not mean to be adversarial. We had stopped by The Villages for 24 hours in January when we went to Ft. Myers to get together with a group of friends who graduated high school in '57. We were invited to a friends home in Poinciana. They were very pleased with The Villages. WE thought their house was lovely. Their enthusiasm was contagious. They drove us around and we had dinner at a restaurant in Orange Blossom where there was Karaoke. We thought it was so much fun. It was lovely to be surrounded by like people.

When I mentioned to other friends in Florida that a move to the Villages might be in our future, I heard some negative stuff. I repeated it here in the Forum yesterday.Many of you have told me I had obviously been misinformed.

I have spent my life as a teacher. It was my job to correct erroneous information. I have never seen the harm in asking anything or being asked anything. I am the least confrontational person I know. I am inquisitive, I like researching things, I like a good value for my money.

I want to apologize to all of you. I didn't really mean to "stir things up".
