Grandkids! What more wonderful thing could God have put on the earth than grand kids? Our two miss us just as much as we miss them

These are people I've heard or read live at least part of the time in our state:

Bruce Springsteen - Wellington
Jimmy Buffet - Palm Beach
Rod Stewart - Palm Beach area
Phil Collins - Miami
Jon Anderson formerly of Yes - Miami
Dickey Betts formerly of the Allman Brothers - Tampa area We lived in Boynton Beach
Gary Puckett - Sarasota
Rick Derringer - Sarasota

Others I know of who lived here in the recent past until their deaths include Davy Jones of the Monkees, David Cassidy of the Partridge Family, Martin Balin of Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Burt Reynolds and Leslie Nielsen.

Who else? Does anyone famous have a home right here in Our Villages? Has anyone bumped into any of our famous neighbors anywhere in Florida?

We lived for 5 years in Boynton Beach, I saw Rod Stewart several times in Worth Drive shopping, he drives a Yellow Lamborghini, you cannot miss him, he is perhaps 5’2” and a real nice person, I sat a few chairs away from Bruce Springsteen at the Wellington Amphitheater, he had several people (what I thought were bodyguards) with him, no one came close to him.

Quite a few near Clearwater because of Scientology. Celine Dion, Tom Cruise are a couple off the top of my head. Dale Chihuly from the art world. Florida 1/2 Washington 1/2.

How about Villages regulars:
Bobby Goldsboro and Peter Noon (Herman’s Hermits)
I think both are in the area.

William Burghoff—played Radar O’Reilly on M*A*S*H, somewhere near Crystal River (so I’ve been told).
