I started it to try to show what someone who works hard and has a good plan can accomplish.

I don't know the Morses but I think they have done such a good thing that this remarkable place will be held in awe for generations to come.

They built a beautiful. clean place, filled with flowers and trees and bushes and water and vast lovely green golf courses and roads to drive on and invited older, smart, sassy, incredibly interesting people to live here.

They have turned what might have been wasted years into increbibly full years and have given many of us a dream we could never have dreamed.

Before I die, I have a huge wish to shake Mr. Gary Morse's hand.

You are wrong my young friend. On this one anyway. There is nothing to hide or be ashamed of that one family has created a successful business in so many ways and by example showed us all how it could be done. Little by little they seem to turn over much of what they have created to be bought and run by others.

It all seems good to me.
