That is true. One of the first woman friends I made here in the Villages-- outside of my neighbors whom for the most part are wonderful-- was a teacher from Ohio and ended up marrying a man 13 years her junior. They have the same BD of May 31. Met this lady in late 2006 and have talked with her quite a bit since January of 2007. She probably does not go on Talk of the Villages. Nor on NOTHING. Fascinating woman as she loves to travel and has many stories of her adventures. Places like the Galapagos, Russia, Egypt, etc.

You do meet a lot of quite interesting people here in the Villages. And I have probably met a few hundred.

Two of my favorite neighbors were a Spanish and a French teacher from Ohio. They moved back there to take care of family though. He was quite active in Villages' government at the local level. They also come back for a month stay once in a while.
