DEAR ONES. Mr. Mucci is right. It sounded bad, however it was not meant to be bad.

In the south end of Columbus, Ohio where I grew up I frequently heard the old saying, " Don't take a Dutchman for what he says, it's what he means that counts".

Mr. Mucci correctly graded my paper and I have learned a lot. If I have "a hidden agenda" I think it is fear, fear of liking the place as much as you all do, and fear of the change that THAT will make in our lives. I have always lived close to where I do now, and loved it. I can't remember making a known enemy. I certainly don't mean to start now.

I knew nothing about The Villages other than the negative comments from friends who live now in other parts of Florida. My husband says that their agenda might have been to encourage us to live near them.

Sometimes on the internet, our communications don't come across the way they would if a person were face to face with another. I apologise again.

A wonderful person just sent us a scanned article from THE DAILY SUN written by H.Gary Morse himself, entitiled Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. It was published around Thanksgiving of last year. It was very long and very informative and gave the flavor of the writer. Gary Morse is OUR age and obviously has done a tremendous job. We enjoyed it so much. I can see that I have made a complete fool of myself. I raise my hand, I am not a good communicator. I am so sorry for having offended so many of you.

Please guys, just try to forgive me and give me one more chance.

Little kids, drunks, and cats just love me.


PUH-LEEEeeze. Let's kill this thread.
