We are a very small part of TV -- I think there are more non-resident posters(wannabes and gonnabes) than residents here. Many residents here think TOTV is nothing more than a complaint center and want nothing to do with TOTV. Why would Morse think much more of us?

I do know some employees of TV read this column (not just Villagers) but, so far as I know, none have even met the Morses, let alone report what is written here to them.

This is not a Jobs/Gates thing. Heck, TOTV isn't even a POA/HOA thing. TOTV is something we love but not something that is going to give a lot of information to a Gary Morse.
Yes I do think the Morses, all of them read this forum. It has a lot of bilge but it also is a finger on the pulse of their customer and potential customer. They are hands on and have improved on their ideas and concepts over time. That doesn't mean that they are gonna jump to build an indoor pool or add more exercise facilities or mandate fat free at their restaurants...in MY OPINION, but they are good businss people and they know what they can do to give the consumer the ultimate bang for their buck.

Plus something inside of me feels that they are so beyond making money that somewhere floats in the goals they have is establishing a place for seniors to live never before seen on this planet. Everyone would love a legacy to the time spent on this earth. I think this place is it.

Beats the heck outa the tombstone I have planned that says


WHAT?????
