I doubt it will anywhere near the size of Paddock Mall in Ocala.

Mark laughed about his football success and remarked it was "a long time ago - thirty five years. Assuming he was 18 as a senior, that would make him 53 or 54. There are wealthy people who have taken advantage of people and hoarded their money and there are wealthy people who have made others lives better. While the Morses have probably wasted some opportunities, they have MOST CERTAINLY MADE OTHERS LIVES BETTER. Harold had an idea and some foresight, but it took his son Gary, to really make the dreams a reality, and Gary's kids have continued to build on that dream. The thing that I am reminded of all the time I am in TV is the quality of the amenities they provide for the residents. They could probably cut some corners and save some of their investment, but they always do it FIRST CLASS. The family has made life better for some 90,000 people, many of whom could have never afforded, or if they could, have never found a place with the lifestyle opportunities of The Villages. I hope the Morse family continues to make money hand over fist if they continue to help people enjoy the advantages available here.

When did Harold Schwartz pass away? December 2003
We paid our first visit to TV in 1995 and were fortunate to have met Harold Schwartz. He was in the Sales Office greeting potential buyers. At that time we were still a few years away from retirement. Ha! At first we thought he was like a walMart greeter or something like that! What a personal nice man! I enjoyed this months V-mail and the family did a wonderful sincere interview. Brownwood---IMPRESSIVE! And we can look forward to more from Brownwood.
