They turned out to be Frances (Ernst) Hitch ’69, her husband, Vance ’67 and her sister, who attended Muhlenberg for two years but transferred out. They owned the beach house and were there for the weekend. We didn’t attend Muhlenberg at the same time but had people in common. Then we found out we live only about 10 miles apart in northern Virginia! They invited us to drop in any time we were at the Jersey shore.” Wynne Perlman Wircer has just gotten married to Marvin Bude of Melbourne, Australia.
