Correction: Heitlers to net 75 years in April

+ Correction: Heitlers to net 75 years in April
In its Sept. 18 issue, the Longboat Observer featured Plymouth Harbor resident George Heitler, a lifelong tennis player who has played tennis for most of his 99 years and is a regular at the Longboat Key Public Tennis Center.

But we made a mistake when we identified his wife as “the late Florence Heitler.”

We’re happy to report that Florence Heitler, 94, is alive and well. The Heitlers will celebrate their diamond anniversary — that’s right, 75 years — on April 21, 2015.

Like her husband, Florence Heitler picked up her tennis racket early in life. She was just 4-and-a-half when she started playing and only recently gave up the sport.
