Thank you Gracie for giving new life to this older thread. This is great information. Did you know that Mr. Schwartz was considered the greatest radio ad salesman in Mexico?

He was involved with the infamous "Border Blasters" that radio people love to talk about. Since Mexico was not a signatory on the USA & Canadian radio agreements there were a number of Mexican AM stations that operated with super high power. 1,000,000+ watts. Compare that to the highest powered US & Canadian AMs at 50,000 watts. These stations would come on at night and use the skywave to blast away all over the USA & Canada and screw up local frequencies all around the country. Those stations sold lots very interesting advertising back in the day. Famous Top-40 DJ Wolfman Jack got his initial fame on the Mexican border blasters. God I'd love to talk to Harold Schwartz!

I have a book titled The Villages Then and Now. The information posted before is all in this book plus more information. I purchased mine about 6 years ago at All Booked up which has two locations in The Villages. The Author is Lee King PHD.

The Villages: Then and Now - Lee King - Google Books

Orlando Sentinel article about the author and book. Article was written in 2004 so the numbers are much different compared to today. We nhave come a long way. Of course it has the normal Orlando Sentinel slants zinged into the article but still interesting.

Default Was grandfather Brown?

I noticed that Garys mothers maiden name was Brown. The first time I visited Brownwood the sales office handed me a pamplet about cattleman Brown. Was this his grandfather?
