You know I wonder how happy the Morse clan is? I realize they are wealthy beyond imagination, and can afford anything they want, but are they really happy? Everything I have heard about Harold Schwartz implies he was a man of the people, who lived in a fairly common Villages home, and spent a lot of time at the squares enjoying the people and the lifestyle he had helped to create for them. His offspring and their offspring seem on the other hand to live a cloistered life, not wanting to mingle with Villagers (May be a wrong perception, but that is what I have garnered from various sources.). Here in a place created to help make peoples' lifelong dreams come true (on a modest budget if desired), they seem not to enjoy much of it. Oh, I know they have places in Montana, and yachts, and horses, and money to burn, but do they really have a joy for life? I wonder if they feel they can't enjoy the Villages because of their wealth or their position? I am not trying to denigrate them in any way, but it is just something I think about. You know the old saying money can't buy you happiness.
