I'm here long enough to remember Harold Schwartz walking around Spanish Springs shaking hands with everyone that approached him and asking on feedback on what he could do better for you. He liked Teo’s Café and Saloon too. His favorite topic was "We'll build a hospital soon."

Now his son, H. Gary Morse was just the opposite. More of a recluse, like Howard Hughes. Not that there is anything wrong with that personality, just that there was much contrast between father and son. I prefer the outgoing type. Made you feel important. Old man Harold made it Florida's Friendliest Hometown. Gary made it Florida's Most Profitable Hometown.

We often saw Jennifer Parr and Tracy Matthews shopping in the stores in Lake Sumter Landing or dining at the Havana Country Club when it first opened. They were always very cordial to residents.

Sometimes attitudes skip a generation.
Look at your own family, are you more like your parents or grandparents?
