In spite.of the hospitality offered to guests, the Dunwoodys strictly maintain their own privacy. “Our private quarters arc private," John said. Seemingly, as if by design, the life style, quiet and family attachment the Dunwoodys wanted have become a reality. "We found what we came looking for,” John said, as he sat on the shaded front porch of the house, listening to the sound of the waves two blocks away.

THE WILLIAM TOWNSEND HOUSE, standing at the corner of the Woodbine Road and the Highway now known as the Delsea Drive, is a remarkable vestige of the sturdy and dependable character of its original owner. Mr. Alfred Cooper of Cape May Court House has known the house all of his life time (born 1859) and he recalls early visits there with his father, George B. Cooper. In a reminiscent mood, Mr. Cooper said that William Townsend’s brother, Charles S. Townsend; was a partner with Mr. Cooper’s father in the glass business at Port Elizabeth. William Townsend was a Hicksite Quaker while Mr. George Cooper was strictly Orthodox, and he sat in on many discussions about the Hicksite vs. the Orthodox Quaker faith. liWea&r err// far art a/tfretrn/meti/ lo Aee /Ars uttirfue /tome Aetttp tfa faree/Ay •v/int/on >/te<r//s/a/e ••/pettey, Zafre .May /'out/ .'ffou^e.
