There's a long list, but just a couple recent things...
  • He wrote a check for more than $20,000 to bring a superb orchestra and virtuoso violinist from Italy to entertain us here in The Villages.
  • Do you think that The Villages Regional Hospital expanded from a small, rural hospital to what will be a 200+ bed full service hospital with "top 10%" ratings in less than ten years without the Morse family's involvement? It normally takes a new hospital a quarter of a century or more to make that kind of progress.
  • How do you think TV got the new 100,000 square foot Veterans Administration Hospital? The fact the Gary Morse gave the VA the land on which to build the hospital might have had something to do with it, do you think?
  • No, TV doesn't have its own Post Office...yet. But it's not Gary Morse's fault. He offered to build the new Post Office and sell it to the USPS for a dollar!
We have every reason to be proud of our community and thankful for it's owner.
true but NOT the question raised by Graciegirl. All she asked was did anyone EVER see him/them. She did not make a value judgement or attack anyone. How come everyone felt the need to rise to the defense of the Morses when all she asked was did anyone ever see them?
