Default Hats off, bowing low to...

The Queen, a well-deserved name for a warm and fuzzy Village presence.

We too are relative newbie's to this forum, but we can totally agree that Gracie is full of wonderful helpful information. We have found her to be the voice of reason when needed, and always has fabulous information to share that has helped us out tremendously!!
for Gracie !!

Kathy and I know Gracie, not just from TV, but also from "back home" in Ohio (we lived about 20 miles apart) before she and her family made TV their permanent residence. We'll be following to TV shortly (we closed on our home in TV's Village of Sanibel about 2 weeks ago).

Gracie is sincere, genuine, hospitable, an optimist, and always sees a glass one-half empty as ONE-HALF FULL. For those who know Gracie, you are fortunate. If you haven't met her, you owe yourself the opportunity to "meet and greet" Gracie the Great (and her family, too).

Gene and Kathy

The late Zig Ziglar talked about names of people foretelling their grown-up personality and character. In some African country, for example, children were named for the day of the week they were born. Male children born on Tuesdays were given a name that roughly translated to ornery, while male children born on Sunday were given a name that roughly translated to God-like. According to Zig, 60 percent of men in prison in that country were born on Tuesday, while over 70 percent of men in the clergy were born on Sunday! All that is to say that Grace Gantner's parents endowed her with the perfect name.

Yes, there might be a few short "Boy Howdy's" in them. A true Ambassador for The Villages, Gracie's honesty and desire to help people, deserves to have a street named after her. Not affiliated with TOTV or The Morse family, Gracie sees no profit in her time as the only payback she receives or wants is satisfaction of helping others.

When I first began posting on TOTV I thought that Gracie had no life and she had nothing better to do with herself. I later found out she plays lots of golf and is always there to help a friend, neighbor or stranger for no reason other than she wants to help. Looking forward for 30,000 more posts. She is a special person and everyone should give her a round of applause for being who she is.
And boy howdy, can she paint! A wonderful artist.
