Perhaps I don't understand your meaning of "fair price".

I would expect them to drive hard bargains. It isn't a baby game and it isn't the government wasting money. It is free market negotiating.

Gary Morse lived for years just north of 466 in the Morse compound where his second wife Renee still owns the property and it can be found on sumterpa.com. When his first wife became very sick with cancer they lived in the Cottages near Lake Sumter Landing since it was all on one floor. Gary Morse died in Europe where he sought treatment for his cancer about three years ago. Harold Schwartz, Gary Morse's father lived in Hickory Head Hammock near Spanish Springs. Gary Morse's sister still lives and runs the old family business in Brownwood, Michigan still making and selling home made donuts and running the little store there. She has visited The Villages often but still prefers rural Michigan. This from a guest in our home who knew the Morse family in Michigan when she was young.(And speaks highly of them)
