I did continue to have my primary care doctor and cardiologist here, with my other doctors in Tampa. Coming back for appointments also gave me the opportunity to visit with Barbara, and to continue to explore places of dining and entertainment in the area. A few months ago I found a cardiologist in Tampa, and this month I am changing to a primary care doctor in Tampa.

In Barbara's case, she has developed mobility problems which make it necessary to move to be close to her children and grandchildren in Las Vegas. We have talked every day on the phone, and that won't change.

Barbara and I were both captivated by our life style experience in The Villages, and would not be making these changes if we did not consider them medically necessary. She can no longer drive to Tampa to see me, nor can I drive to The Villages to see her.

We made some wonderful friends here, and have maintained friendships even after the friends moved to other areas. We expect the same experience after our departure; our friends will stay in touch.

Many of you have become friends in person; others only by contact on TOTV. I expect that I will continue to visit the TOTV message board from time to time.

We wish all of you continued happiness in a really wonderful little slice of Florida.

Keep in touch when you can, good things will come to you and Barbara. And, thanks for lovin' our four legged friends, too!

God bless you and keep you.

Best wishes for you Carl

Carl. You are so many things we admire, you have a kind heart, a strong logical mind and a history of serving our country. There are three or four who post on this forum that I know I am going to agree with, be educated by and that has no agenda other than the truth.

We are blessed to have met you both in person and have you visit our home. I also don't feel bereft because I know I will see you on Facebook.

Thank you for your additions to my knowledge and for your affirmation of good.

Be safe, healthy, strong and happy.

Your fan,

Grace Gantner.
