Happy People Club Ambassador – Ed and Alice Galuska

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

If ever there was love at first sight, it was what Ed & Alice Galuska felt when they first laid eyes on Terra Vista.

Once deciding to escape the winters in New England the Galuska’s started to search for that special retirement lifestyle. Although they owned a condo in Southeast Florida, they felt life would be more enjoyable in a less crowded and less stressful environment. They started a search that lasted a number of years. Along the way they explored a variety of central Florida communities including the Villages and On Top of the World.
