I know at least two. The Villages Information Systems (IT Dept) was bought by its department head and is no longer affilated with the Villages although it retains The Villages name. The biggest surprise is I was told by my friends that are employed by the Daily Sun, that Phil Markward, the editor in charge has bought out the paper.

Little by little, the Morse family is trying to rid itself of all these depts and concentrate on retirement.
