Butterfly House Dream Comes True

An elderly resident of a small Florida town
has succeeded in creating a butterfly preserve on a public park in the
Florida panhandle. ”The chamber of commerce thought I was a crazy old
coot when I first proposed
it,”
said
Jack
Wetherell,
83.
”But
I’m persistent.”

Nancy
Greig, director of the Cockerell Butterfly Center in Houston, one of
the nation’s largest, noted ”People
get all dewy-eyed about butterflies. They don’t think of them as insects,
and there’s that whole metamorphosis thing going for them.”
