I would like to email Mark Morse directly but he seems to be very insulated. Where is his office? How can I email him?

I do not understand this "blind" adoration some sychophants have for the Morses either. Yes -- they are business people; we have paid for each and every thing we have here and we will continue to pay. There is no free ride but we do have the advantage of a nice community and in taking part in many activities. Certainly, no new "meaty" information is ever given at these presentations. I think they do this because they think it will simply "calm the savage beasts" for a while. Mark Morse, as "the developer" should be ashamed of himself for the way he looked at the presentation. He looked like a panhandling vagrant in front of a Goodwill store! Years ago, from speaking with a long-time Villages' employee who still works here, I was told that Mr. Schwartz was a real, down-to-earth human being. He cared about his employees and made sure he was visible to all of them. He treated them like co-workers, would mingle with the residents at the Orange Blossom pool, and was favorite among everyone. Enter the next generations . . . EVERYTHING has changed. No one is visible any longer and never will be. This is not the vision Harold Schwartz had. The new generation was handed a thriving business on a silver platter, although they are successful in making it grow. The Villages is strictly a business proposition now and residents and would-be buyers can take it or leave it. That's just how it is. I respect the Morses, et al, for being business people, however, show gratitude? How and why? We are paying for what we have. |

It was my third event, no, not much in the line of new information came out BUT I chose to go, no cost. I enjoy the casual attire, he is a villager after all. I have met several of the family and I have found them to be down to earth and genuine. As far as working for the villages, I have found it to far more friendly then everywhere else I have worked. They have started and orientation breakfast for both new and current employees, and no there was not a charge. The family was there talking and mingling with the employees. So folks, this is not Pandora, but it is where I CHOSE to live and continue to do so.

Hard to compare Mr. Swartz running a little trailer park (God bless his soul) with the enterprise of today.

I could be wrong, but do I remember that Mr. Swartz's vision was in financial trouble when Gary Morse came down and rescued it?

I think you are correct about the financial things, and that is why Mr. Schwartz brought in his son to help out, which he certainly did. But without Harold Schwartz's vision, I think we would be looking at a lot of vacant land and a horrible Wildwood slum. |

It's pretty simple............If someone wants to adore a family, it's their right and their wishes and their opinion.
They don't need to justify or explain to others who don't understand (as defined) blind adoration. A lot of people don't like cows, cowgirls, Texas BBQ, NYC pizza, dog poop, snowbirds or white crosses. People don't need to justify their opinions. Funny how some just don't understand. Going back to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. |

BTW -- I do get it. Understand it? Well -- I equate this blind adoration with a type of brown nosing, hoping that the right people will notice. I understand why people do it. I didn't ask anyone to justify it and as you said, everyone is welcome to their opinion. I'm in agreement with you there. |
