We will wait and see. Watching it all unfold gives us a front seat to history and I find it very interesting. The Morses are smart cookies. And we are smart people to live here.
When the land was transferred to First Baptist of Leesburg, it was appraised at about $50 million. Was sold to TV for about $10 million from what I was told.
