Mark laughed about his football success and remarked it was "a long time ago - thirty five years. Assuming he was 18 as a senior, that would make him 53 or 54. There are wealthy people who have taken advantage of people and hoarded their money and there are wealthy people who have made others lives better. While the Morses have probably wasted some opportunities, they have MOST CERTAINLY MADE OTHERS LIVES BETTER. Harold had an idea and some foresight, but it took his son Gary, to really make the dreams a reality, and Gary's kids have continued to build on that dream. The thing that I am reminded of all the time I am in TV is the quality of the amenities they provide for the residents. They could probably cut some corners and save some of their investment, but they always do it FIRST CLASS. The family has made life better for some 90,000 people, many of whom could have never afforded, or if they could, have never found a place with the lifestyle opportunities of The Villages. I hope the Morse family continues to make money hand over fist if they continue to help people enjoy the advantages available here.
