Gary Morse is reportedly 76.

The kids are probably in their early fifties.

Most of the huge growth to The Villages has happened in the last ten-15 years it seems, if you check the ages of the villages just south west of Spanish Springs as that is when the "new" development started.

Grandfather Harold Schwartz was the "glad hand" guy with a good idea and son Gary seems to have been the fellow who moved the ideas forward. Gary named our town "The Villages" in 1992 according to this article in Wikipedia.
