Hi Ed, Yes, I initiated a thread on this book on 4/29/13 and you posted on the thread on 5/21/13, if I recall correctly.
Glad to hear you read it! Like you, I thought it a tedious read but I found it to be highly informative about the history of 55 and over communities. I am glad I bought it and retain it as a reference. Del Webb and Ross Cortese were true pioneers and literally invented many of the features built into such communities today. The developers of The Villages incorporated and improved upon many of their ideas.
