His book
Leisureville is good source of information about the Villages in the last two weeks of 2005. That is when he was here. I have written him a few times to look at Talk of the Villages to get a better idea of the Villages such as it is whenever I e-mailed him.
He seems to want the grandparents to be taking care of their grandkids and staying in the communities where they worked and raised kids. Seniors deserve their day in the sun and away from the snow shoveling and baby-sitting.
They do an awful lot for the community here in the Villages.
He also sexed up the Villages. Maybe I am in the wrong neighborhood but not much happens here except for loving relationships between married or committed partners. I have run across an occasional swinger so to speak but he actually got bored with the Villages and moved to St Petersburg.
Of course, there are those rowdy stories in the newspaper-- Sex on the Square and those -- but a community of this size will have some things like this going on and when they do they seem to even make the newspapers in France and Great Britain as well as Australia.
He does present good information about the government of the Villages, the developers' role, and the early history of the Villages. It is very good with the beginning of the Villages.
His book on pigeons is quite good.
Maybe, I should send him another e-mail.
